The federal statute at issue in this case—which declares legal holidays on various days, including Christmas, and gives all federal employees the day off on those days—is unmistakably constitutional. Governments, always and everywhere, have marked in law culturally significant days and accommodated their voluntary celebration; culturally ...
Generally, public schools may teach about religious holidays, and may celebrate the secular aspects of the holiday and objectively teach about their religious aspects.
