Jus another school system in the long line already doing it. Like mine and our neighboring systems.
Actually, this may be the only way some Christian celebrations (Good Friday, Christmas, etc.) remain school holidays. People don’t understand that once a government is determined to be truly secular, even having Sundays off has to be justified. In the neighboring town here in NJ (a different county), they still have Blue Laws; malls are closed, along with most stores. Recent attempts to get rid of them were shot down when many non-Christians supported them to minimize mall-related traffic at least one day per week. I personally pity people forced to work on Sundays, and understand as we slip into serfdom that more & more people are being expected to do so; now many banks offer Sunday hours.
So a couple of months ago I'm out shopping for a 2015 calendar. I had to go to three different stores before I found a calendar that didn't list the muslim holidays.
Now I'm going to stir the pot a bit. After 9/11 Bush could have ground radical islam to bits. But he didn't. So now we have to deal with all this garbage.

I didn’t know it was outside of NYC; it’s worse than I thought.
