Religious Holidays in Public Schools

laughin........hell, we can't even come around to having Jewish holidays and Israel is supposed to be our great ally and friend.............and we probably have way more Jewish (religion) folks than Muslims........

It's all kind of stupid..........we should be in school year round.........we are no longer an agrarian/farming nation that needed all hands in the fields.........that's how the school calendar was originally set.........the kids needed to be on the farm working.............and as some have suggested with 1-2-3-4 week breaks scattered throughout the year.

The kids in some of the counties here go 9 weeks on 3 weeks off. Seems to work well.

I do agree that Christmas should not be a Federal Holiday.

I agree children/students should be in school/learning year round.
