Holi is showing up in the "US Holidays"

Clearly we need those dates only on our calendars. We can dump all the religious nonsense as they are all not official holidays. That would be a good result as far as I am concerned.

Except that you forgot about this part:

Ex. Ord. No. 11582, Feb. 11, 1971, 36 F.R. 2957, provided:

By virtue of the authority vested in me as President of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Except as provided in section 7, this order shall apply to all executive departments, independent agencies, and Government corporations, including their field services.

Which appears to limit it to Government Employees.

Sure there is, hence why employees in the private sector are often paid more to work on these holidays if they are not able to given off. And why non federal employees need to be aware of these dates to plan for their garbage pickup, mail, banking, etc

Those are specific choices made by an employer. There is no specific obligation for a non-federal employer to consider giving someone a day off. I've worked for some employers where all our "paid time off" was lumped into one basic accrual. You want to take a day off on a typical holiday and it comes from that time. You want to show up for work and get paid (even if almost nobody else is there) that's an option.

Mail is specifically a federal function. Garbage is not. My garbage pickup is done by a private contractor and they don't even announce what their holidays are. We only find out when they don't pick up and then know that it's shifted to the next day. Holidays can often be negotiated by a union, or in the case of state workers specified by state law.

I think it wouldn’t be such a stretch for Apple to provide several calendars

Hi canine2, have you received any update from Apple on removal of Holi from the US Holidays Calendar?

Thanks,

Brad

Maybe its for the 3 million and counting Americans that are Hindu?

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but it is just your opinion.

It is a holiday celebrated by several millions of Americans, I for one do not intend to deny their beliefs, much as I do not deny you your prejudice.

Thanks but It really has nothing at all to do with my opinion. I simply want an accurate calendar

And you want us to take your opinion on what that is?

Nice try.

Please remember that this is a place where the first amendment has no say.
