‘Shame’: City of Houston forced to delete post calling Good Friday a ‘Spring Holiday’

Houston, Texas, is in hot water after an X post marked Good Friday as a “Spring holiday.”

In a quickly deleted message, the City of Houston announced that its offices would be closed on Friday “due to the Spring holiday weekend.” This outraged Christians, who viewed it as a blatant form of religious erasure. It was especially rich, critics noticed, considering the same account had no issue with celebrating Eid Mubarak two years ago.

Look:

The City of Houston on Good Friday:

"Due to the Spring Holiday" we are closed.

The City of Houston on Eid Mubarak:

"I thank Houston's Muslim American community for their leading role in assisting the city and region in every manny possible."
