http://www.tolerance.org/classroom-resources: This website offers free materials for teachers that focus solely on diversity issues. I have received posters, pamphlets and several DVD's about content standards that we cover in Social Studies.

Purinton, T., & Gunther, V. (2011). Closing school for the holidays - whose holidays?. Phi Delta Kappan, 93(4), 33-37. This article looks at ways that school districts decide which holidays should be observed or which holidays should be used as "in-service" days. I found it quite enlightening.
