exams would never be scheduled on christmas. no important sporting event would ever be played on easter. it’s about time that jewish holy days are given the same respect.
Exactly.
I should add that this isn’t limited to us Jews, either. In the past two years or so, both the Olympics and and the World Cup coincided with Ramadan, and a lot of Muslim athletes were left in the really shitty position of having to choose between either not fasting or putting their athletic performance at risk. If Christians had a fasting month, you bet your ass no sporting events would take place until it was over.
I am here for the Religious Solidarity movements.
Yes? All of this? Like I heard someone make the case that there are ‘too many’ Jewish or Islamic major holidays to give students all of them off and I was just like ??????? I recognize and appreciate that I benefit massively from being Christian, because I get my holidays off due to the fact that the school system literally built their breaks around them. Yes. This. These things. I am so here for the Religious Solidarity thing that I can’t even articulate how here I am.
