Do they close for Rosh Hoshanna? Yom Kippur? Good Friday? What a load of bs!

Actually, the schools (public) in the Jewish communities here by me do.

BUT, the private jewish schools don't close for the Christian Holidays.

Yes, they do. Try reading the article.

Public schools across the nation have traditionally closed for major Christian holidays including Christmas and several days before or after Easter, and many also close for Jewish holidays as well.

(The only "BS" is the "re-naming" of these holidays, as noted. "Winter Break" falls during Christmas and "Spring Break" falls during Easter. It's not a coincidence.)
