religious

In past years, students have been off of school on the day of Good Friday. This day, which is the Friday before Easter, is a big day for Christianity and is celebrated by many people in our country.  We should not have to attend school on Good Friday.  If not a day for all in school to be off, it should at least be an optional day for students who are Christians.  What, are they going to make us go to school on Christmas next?  All religious holidays should be optional school holidays for the people who practice that particular religion.  It's absurd to disregard religious holidays and not recognize them as a large part of the lives of most people in this country.
