Because here is what I find equally troubling: that the very same school board, like some other publicly funded boards, schedules what are called “diamond days” — days off granted in recognition of various religious and cultural observances — more frequently, in some cases, than it schedules standard PA days. That publicly funded schools have, in many jurisdictions, installed prayer rooms within their walls. That the secular public institution, funded by every taxpayer regardless of faith, has quietly become a mosaic of religious accommodation — while simultaneously being unable to offer two extra days to a Greek Orthodox child before a math test.
