[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please excuse us for being Jewish, Hindu, and Muslim. PLEASE excuse us for not demanding one week off for our largest holiday and then another two week holiday for another big holiday like Christians do. EXCUSE US.

If you need religious holidays off, go to a religious schools. Keep religious calendar out of public schools. [b]Xmas is a federal holiday so part of fed calendar.[/b] All other Christian holidays are Sundays and not a school day off. And the gripe about Xmas is silly. 75% of the country celebrates it. That’s an overwhelming majority so we should rightly plan around staffing and student shortages.

Having Eid, Diwali and high holidays off is ridiculous. Fed holidays and only fed days should be observed [/quote]

Then give kids ONE DAY OFF FOR CHRISTMAS like federal government workers get. Like Jews are getting for Rosh Hoshanah, Hindus are getting for Diwali, Muslims are getting for Eid. I'm sure the Hindu Indian immigrants would love to take two weeks to visit their families for their actual holiday rather than having to do it in December because that's when the Christian holiday is.[/quote]

Then don't move to a country where 75%+ of the country celebrates Christmas if you don't like it. I mean, this isn't rocket science. Indian Hindus and Muslims knew this before they moved. In fact, I don't think any immigrants who move to this country believe that the culture should shift to minimize Christmas (which is honestly the biggest holiday in this country both culturally and religiously) just because some immigrants who move here don't celebrate. You must not live with or know any recent immigrants. I am married to one and actually work in immigration. The idea that we have to incorporate every single holiday for each religious, ethnic, immigrant, and/or minority group is just too much. We cannot celebrate them all without losing complete efficiency. Immigrants adapt to our calendar. Done.[/quote]

Actually, it seems like YOU’RE the ones who need to move, since you don’t like the inclusive calendar.  :lol: [/quote]
