Not special treatment.
Just acknowledgment of culture.
Some people believe:
“Schools should treat all days the same.”
Others believe:

"Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world."
Jim Thorpe replied simply: "Thanks, King."
At the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Jim Thorpe won gold medals in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. (Cultural Survival) He also placed fourth in the high jump and seventh in the long jump — and on top of all that, played in two exhibition baseball games at the same Olympics. (NPR)
In 1950, the Associated Press voted him the greatest athlete of the half-century — he received 252 of 393 first-place votes. Babe Ruth came second. Jack Dempsey was third. (NPR)

The greatest athlete of the century.
