Ugh. Mississippi. You can get "pro-life" license plates for your car & Good Friday is a school holiday. Can't wait to get my kids out of here before they suffer permanent brain damage. This is what the conservatives want for the whole country & it's bad.
Luckily, each generation is becoming more agnostic, so eventually the zealots will die out.
God I hope so. Right now the zealots are going strong though, & seem to have the upper hand as far as the government.
Good Friday is pretty much an universal day off in all schools. Everywhere I ever taught it was. Colleges sometimes have classes on good Friday.
