  so what if it isnt significant enough, it's still a holiday for christians, and is just as important to us as it is to teh jewish or baha'i faith.

  Actually, the entire week following Easter is a religious celebration for most Christian sects, due to the fact that that day was the first appearance of Christ following his resurrection. (Luke 24:13-35). Just because the county has decided that it isn't doesn't mean that it isn't a holy day.

  Why does it have to be about the religion huh? We all know its a holiday observed by many different religions. What this is a matter of the county taking into consideration the direct interpretation of their rules and deciding that us meeting their set standard of school days is more important then anyone’s individual religion. They are screwing us over and all we can do is smile.

  this is getting to much into a "religious-raical" thing (sounds really crappy, my bad!) but i notice it now, the gov't does give an advantage to christian holidays making them days off of school and such!! we dont get a lot of religious holidays off, but most would be christian!! kinda upsettin....

  I'm sick of all this "the county's being against the christian's and for the jews." The school calender is based around the christian holidays. Hence the placement of winter and spring break. Furthermore, like the article says, while the days are religious holidays for Jews, it's not deemed enough to miss school. Stop acting like it's a religious issue, and just be honest that you're mad we're not missing school.

  Get a clue. It is a religious issue. The calendar isn't even based around Christian holidays but pagan ones that were Christianized. I simply object to the biased tone of this article which dismisses Easter Monday as unimportant for Christians. If the author had bothered to research more about what Easter Monday is and why it IS a Christian holy day, perhaps she would realize that her tone is wholly inappropriate regarding the religious issues of this date.

  Thanks for the enlightening answer Agent M, it is a sad shame how our society is shaping with all the Christian bashing going on and forgetting that our beautifal countries were founded on such God-fearing values that are now being frowned upon.

  Actually for agent m's information, Jesus first appeared to Mary Magdalene when she went to look in the tomb and found it empty and thinking Him to be the gardener.
