The funny part about it is that if a Catholic parent wanted to keep his kids out of school for those holidays, they'd have an unexcused absence.
The schools already have a policy in place to not schedule important events on their "holidays" -- and to grant an excused absence. In other words, preferential treatment.
When Monkey County grants this benefit to the muzzies, they will push for the next thing (private prayer rooms -- one for the boys and one for the girls) so their little darlings can pray during the day as they are supposed to.
And to have all the food in the school to be sacrificed to idols halal.
And to change the dress code to be Shariah compliant.
And, in the name of sensitivity, the Monkey County school board will go with each and every one of the requests.
My kind of thinking. I’m working on a Constiutional amendment to bring back Christian and patriotic holidays the way they used to be celebrated, and well, muslims will have to just put up with it in the USA, along with war-on-terror intel gathering.
Oh, and it includes demolishing or preventing a Ground Zero mosque or any other pro-terrorism mosques.
...meanwhile, Catholic Priest are not allowed to hold mass at military bases.
...and parents fed up - will move out - and more Moslems will move in...Begun the Jihad Wars have (Yoda)
It’s over people...economic decay - political corruptness - high unemployment...like Germany in the 30’s...ripe for take over by radicals!
I’m sick and tired of Muslims, homosexuals, Marxists and illegal trespassers in America.
I want a government that will keep them out and eject all that are here already.
Once Yom Kippur was recognized by school systems where Jews are less than 10% of the population this became inevitable. And it will never end. Soon every religion will be clamoring for “respect”.
Do you see Buddhists, Hindus, and/or others as pushy?
Are these same moooooooslems going to honor other religions’ holy days? Just as I thought, I don’t think so.
Tell them “NO! F* OFF!”
Let’s keep it simple: F*CK the Moslems.
I would grant them a day off for Eid, except it would be the same day as Christmas.
Or if it absolutely has to be a new day off, then the muslims and other pagans could just celebrate on Beltane, the satanic high holiday. The Christians could spend their time off in church praying for the pagan’s souls.
Back in the day when I was in Baltimore City public school (and the schools were actually pretty good back then), all the Jewish kids would be out for Rosh Hashanna and Yom Kippur. But they never pushed to make these official school holidays.
This stuff is up to the individual communities. My town has a high concentration of Jews. We have always had Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur off. It’s not because we are all Jews. It’s because 30% of the kids would not be in school.
If the communities have a high percentage of kids that would not be in school—and they are willing to start that much earlier—it wouldn’t bother me.
If there are like 5% of the students! it would not be worth it.
The schools are not closed for Christmas and Easter. They are closed for Spring and Winter break.
If they close for a Muslim religious holiday, what excuse will they use? Fall break? Seasonal season?
It cannot be made into religious exception to the school year without making a formal statement that yes, indeed, Spring break is Easter break and winter break is Christmas break.
Of course they have! They ARE in Maryland after all.
Good grief! Is it Ramadan again?
Well my witches coven would like to see All Hallow’s Eve a school holiday also. :-)
Islamic holidays: be there or be headed.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
