The Baltimore County Board of Education on Tuesday voted 6-5 against closing schools for two Muslim holidays when they fall on school days.
According to the Baltimore Sun, the Muslim community had advocated for more than a decade to close Baltimore schools on the Islamic holidays of Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr.

Cair terrorists will sue.
Obama will denounce this.
Most Excellent!

mooslimes can take their days on Sat, or Sun, as they wish.
/s, because all logic is gone
Of course they did. What a cesspool
Best decision in Bltmr, IMO, since the national aquarium and the Inner Harbor area.
Aloha Snackbar!
