Schools ARE going to be making changes in the not so distant future, and they won't have the luxurey of catering to every religious group in their district so religious holidays will most likely take a back seat to what is best for the students. I expect drama, but what else is new? Religion and schools shouldn't mix anyway.
ITA. I think Christians will have a bloody fit before they let other holidays in or agree to have theirs taken off the school calendar though.
In Texas public schools we've gotten rid of most Christian holidays- it's called 'winter break' not, not Christmas break. I agree with this. No religious holidays should be recognized. If you want a Christmas/Yom Kippur/Eid/whatever, go to a religious school.
The Holocaust was carried out in the name of Christianity, should we ban all Christian holidays too?
Let me preface this by saying that I'm not a christian and I am also not a fan of rewriting history.
The holocaust was not carried out in the name of christianity. At all. Hitler and his nazi cronies were not christians, they practiced various weird azz occult like religions. And the hatred of jews was not a christian thing, but a cultural thing and most importantly of all a great device to scapegoat certain citizens in order to make the rest feel better. Not to mention a hell of a way to confiscate monies and properties that formly belonged to said scapegoats.
