text: Progressive111, where have you been? I've always been aware of Jews during my school years as they took off for the High Holidays. And the school always accommodated them.

So are Christmas and Easter. Holidays, as in HOLY DAYS. And our local school celebrates "Orange & Black Day" instead of Halloween because fundamentalist Christians equate it with Satanism
