It must be working, because I have no idea what they might be trying to hide with this underhanded scheme.

Christian here and we celebrate Good Friday...not Catholic btw, it's not a Catholic holiday. We've always had to work and I don't think it's odd in the least. For families wanting to celebrate the Easter weekend it might make travelling more difficult, but I don't feel like we're "due" a day off.

Jew here — yep! We ALWAYS have to take off for Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, Pesach … you don’t hear us complaining, because we get that the USA isn’t a Jewish country. We deal.
The Muslims do the same.
Why do you need to be the one complaining?

I graduated from college 30 years ago (gah); we didn’t have any holidays off besides Thanksgiving.

Even Catholic schools don't take Good Friday off.

Go to a Catholic College. Notre Dame has it off.

I work on Good Friday. The only reason elementary, middle and high school have it off is because of spring break. College kids have spring break earlier.

Why would it be a holiday?

DC's college is off for Cesar Chavez day but not Good Friday, which I endorse.

How?
If so, then the plot dates back decades. I attended a nominally religious LAC and we were not dismissed on Good Friday till noon.
