06-23-2021 The Randolph Board of Education in New Jersey has reversed its decision to remove the names of holidays from the school calendar following a stormy meeting on Monday. Earlier this month, the school board chose to amend the calendar by removing the names of all holidays and replacing them with "day off." The board voted 8-1 to reinstate the holiday names after parents and community members said they were shocked and insulted by the move. "Stripping the traditional holidays on the school calendar is not only insulting, it sends the wrong message to our students. It lessens the meaning of the historical events," said resident Jack Murray.
