Have a Merry "day off" and a Happy "day off"!

That’s the message from the school board of Randolph Township in Morris County, New Jersey, which unanimously voted Thursday to remove holiday names from their academic calendar following an uproar over renaming Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day, according to reports.

Now holidays like Thanksgiving and Memorial Day, as well as Jewish holy days like Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, will simply be listed as "day off."

"If we don’t have anything on the calendar, we don’t have to have anyone [with] hurt feelings or anything like that," board member Dorene Roche told Fox 5.

Well isn't that offensive to those people with the name Dayoff.

I would add made-up holidays to the calendar.
