Pagan police officers granted right to festival holidays.

I'd have thought that was obvious, you get your own holy days not other people's.

So the pagan police work on Christmas.

Someone has to work on Christmas in the Police Department. It makes more sense to let as many Christians off as they can and let the Pagans have their days off. Criminals don't take a holiday. It would be nice if they did. But in our area, domestic violence is up on the holidays. You can't let the entire police force off for Christmas and have no one to handle robberies, break-ins, and women/children being battered. Bestboy 19, maybe if you read my response, you'll understand better. Different holidays for different faiths makes sense for hospitals, correctional facilities, anywhere that can not close. It does make it hard to find babysitters for Christmas if your kids don't have grandparents, so their are some problems. But those problems have always existed.

I guess if they say they will grant the equal number of days off that Christians get, then it wouldn't be abused. Many Christians want every Sunday off. That's 52 days a year right there. Then Christmas, that's 53 and Easter 54. Some places allow Good Friday off, that's 55. Since it's a police department, I'm sure they rotate their Sundays on and off. It would be interesting to see how they did it. 24 hour schedules are a bear to begin with. I don't envy them figuring this out.
