American “Christians”, you are NOT being oppressed. Repeat, NOT BEING OPPRESSED.

80. I am Jewish

Last week, I had to use some of my vacation time and get the permission of my supervisor so I could attend services for Rosh haShanah, perhaps the second holiest day of the Jewish calendar. On Friday, I will take a half day of vacation time to prepare for the fast of Yom Kippur, which is THE holiest day of the Jewish calendar.

When was the last time you had to request time off to ensure you could attend Christmas, Easter, or Good Friday services? I'm guessing you never have needed to, since those are all recognized as FEDERAL holidays. That means the Christian faith is the faith of the establishment.

Employers are REQUIRED to give those days off to employees or pay them AT LEAST time and a half for every second they must work on those holidays. Even the many service industry workers get those days off.

When you need to ask your boss to take time off to go to a Christmas service or Mass, then you can complain about unfairness. Until then, kiss my Yiddish tochus.
