Those breaks were originally Christmas and Easter break. The good euphenism was implemented as to not offended the non Christians. Spade!

I don't deny that. I'd be happy for Rosh H'Shana and Yom Kippur and EID to be euphamised too if they offend you so much. Can YOU think of a euphamism? I sure can't. Similarly, I don't give a damn about what the breaks are called, and aren't particularly offended by the terms "Christmas" or "Easter" break. But at least they practically can be euphamised.

So, if the school district created a secular day off (like "Textbook Day") and made sure it fell on Eid every year, would you stop complaining about it? That's the crux of your analogy.

Because hell would freeze over before "Winter Break" was decoupled from Christmas.

If your actual objection is to Muslim students getting the day off for a holiday when they make up large numbers in the school district--and not that the holiday's name is recognized--then find a new line of argument. Do you even live in Irvington, NJ?
