Indian Americans make up just 3% of the city’s population. So what % would be required to shut the school down? What’s difficult about this situation is that everyone loses the school day but a small number of students actually need the day off.

This is all fine as long as the days are made up. Otherwise it can become a virtually endless parade of required holidays that becomes disruptive to education, and specifically and disproportionately would affect NYC public school students because of the city’s diversity.

Is social equity a priority for the city tho?

I mean we have a neighborhood called Billionaire's Row.
