There’s a lot of Catholic haters on this website, so I wasn’t sure what you meant.
The school did not back off in this case, they had to be ordered by a judge.
I have to assume that this is an issue because of trying to make up snow days. The school where I live floated the idea of having the kids go to school on Good Friday, but got enough of a backlash to drop that idea. To make up for snow days, that is.

I have noticed a few myself, but I am most decidedly not one of them.
