Christmas, Yom Kippur, Ramadan: One Baltimore, Maryland, school district wants to ban all religious holidays from the school calendar.
HLN affiliate WBFF reports that, after Muslim families in the area asked the school board to include their high holidays in addition to the Christian and Jewish ones, the board instead decided to eliminate all celebrations centered around religion. Now, all school breaks are religion-neutral: Winter break versus Christmas break, for example.
