Brings this to mind...

What Christian holidays do they get off?

Winter Break and Spring Break are not Christian holidays (and Easter is on Sunday so it's not really a day off)..

A poll option:

Of course. It is the will of Allah

Well, this sure is an unbiased website.

I knew this would come eventually. It's actually pretty logical...if you ignore the principles that established the US.

Talk to me when Muslims take Christmas off in Arab countries.

Liberals love it. Anything to tear down the foundation.

We should have a national holiday celebrating the day Muhammad raped an underage girl. Cheers.

Positive Rep me and I'll vote for Obama in 2016 now Free

Just give them the day off as an excused absence. That's what we did for jewish kids when I was in school.

Give them nothing.

That makes sense.

But Montgomery County has long been used as a test facility to promote progressive national policies...whether they make sense or not.

Give Christians nothing as well then. No double standard. Get it right.

P.S. - As a Christian, I would like something rather than nothing.

Don't we already have vacations for Christian holy days? What would be wrong with doing the same for Muslim holiday?

You are pretty thick, aren't you?

They need remedial posting boards, like colleges have remedial courses. Although I guess DU already covers that.

No we don't have breaks for Christian Holiday's..

Christmas happens to fall during the period of winter break.
Easter is on a Sunday

In all fairness, I would have liked to take St Patrick's Day off.

(And Thanksgiving is arguably a Christian holiday, certainly was founded as such)

Am I the only one who always had the Christian holiday of "Good Friday" off... Because it was Good Friday...?
