Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst gets really mad at calendars.
Sure, the University of Vermont Associate Professor and Associate Director of the campus’ Humanities Center is also a mom and a popular podcast host, so she’s busy and maybe overscheduled…but that’s not why she’s mad.
“Our calendar is Christian, we don’t have a secular calendar,” Morgenstein Fuerst said. “What would it look like if schools had an interfaith calendar?”
“It’d be dope in the year 2021 if my second grader didn’t need to explain what Jewish holidays are,” she added, noting it’s a real issue when students are penalized or must make up hours for unexcused absences when they have to worship during a school day.
