In New York City schools, kids are learning Rs: reading, writing, and Ramadan. Thanks to the far-Left priorities of Mayor Bill de Blasio (D), city schools have added two Muslim holidays to the school calendar — a concession that took even Big Apple parents by surprise. While the largest religion in the country fights to even be recognized, “NYC schools will now close for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha — making (it) the largest school district in the nation to recognize the two holidays on the official school calendar.”
Although families already had the option of taking excused absences for these days, Mayor de Blasio took it upon himself to close school for 1.1 million students in the single largest display of political correctness the district has ever seen. While the city is busy overcompensating the barely 2% of the city’s population, it insists on robbing Christians of the simple acknowledgement of its two biggest holy days: Christmas and Easter. Instead it scrubs the calendar of any reference, replacing them as “winter break” and “spring break.” Public schools may not be religious, officials argue, but they can legally accommodate students to practice their faith. That’s interesting — because most public schools have a serious problem accommodating Christians. This is nothing but exclusion for inclusion’s sake.
The reality is, America wasn’t founded on Muslim principles — but Christian ones. Our identity is rooted in the deep tradition and ideals of the same Bible that schools are so anxious to expel. In New York or anywhere, this should never be about pushing a politically correct agenda. It’s about honoring America’s cultural and Christian heritage. That doesn’t mean ignoring other religions — but it also doesn’t mean surrendering our identity to a small minority either.

they didn’t close for NARUZZ?? how thoughtless and inhumane
So we can’t say Christmas Break or Easter Break, but we can acknowledge Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha?
Beam me up Scotty!
My father taught high school chemistry in a district that had Yom Kippur, and Rosh Hashanah as holidays.
In some ways it was a matter of practically, if they didn’t take the days off, there might not be enough students in the building to make it worth it.
How are they going to keep snarky kids from muttering under their breath “Eid al-Fitr? That sounds a lot like Adolph Hitler”
My kids had those Jewish holidays off 45 years ago.
.
Naw-Ruz is not a Muslim holiday. It is an Iranian holiday that pre-dates Islam. It is also the new year for everyone who uses the vernal equinox to begin a new year.
that may make it even more likely to be included in future...”vacation” plans
Good days to have a pig roast.
Identity has to be erased to create drones (happy slaves) for the elites—all human beings are cogs in the wheel—interchangeable and the State can cull and kill and control everyone at Will when children are ignorant and “group thinkers” which is what they will be after a few years of public school indoctrination or absorbing TV programming.
The elites do this through control of Words/Language in the Wittgenstein way-—they can create the proper perceptions in your little children: muslim Good; Christians Evil. They have been intentionally doing this in Hollywood and public schools since we outlawed Christ and God from the public square in the 50s and 60s which was elimination of Christianity while a promotion of all other ideologies/faiths like Atheism, Satanism, paganism, and islam, hinduism, yoga, etc (Collectivist ideology).
It is to destroy Traditions and Wisdom and Individualism (Christian concept only). (Knowledge of all real History) so children remain ignorant and easily controlled by “perceptions” they receive by the controllers (mass media which is controlled by a very satanic, sodomite few who want power over your little Bieberized Johnny). Perceptions are all that are given to children, along with fear to go against the popular culture. Fear to speak Truth and think outside the “PC” (cultural Marxism) box. PC is the control of all perceptions allowed to the masses.
Their main objective is to dehumanize children (remove from nurturing mothers and fathers for the artificial institutions so there is no objection to killing your loved ones or your own genetic offspring, etc). All biological connections have been their targets: grouping to divide (men v. women, women v. children, etc, multiculturalism/diversity). A tolerance of Evil is normalized-—and made into the highest Virtue, to destroy Reason and Logic and Truth/God.
There is no identity to be transmitted to children-—even that of mother and father, or male and female, wife/husband is being erased to destroy ALL Natural Instincts in children-—so they can CHANGE truth/Reality to their “utopia” (man-made laws)-—Male, Female is the most intimate, Natural fact which affects a child’s whole life and emotions, and development and they are told lies that the family can be anything, and boys can be girls, etc—to destroy Logic development in children and destroy Normal Identity formation. It creates tribal minds where every idea is based on emotions. They are totally warping all concepts of Reality, Natural Law which is the basis of Western Civilization and the Age of Reason and Modern Science.
Truth and Reality is being blurred, erased for this kumbaya, irrational Eastern yoga mysticism-—One World Unity-—One Mind-—One Way to Think-——which has to eliminate Christian Worldview and our Constitution—because Individual Natural Rights from God and not the State has to be erased to prevent Revolutions-—to prevent Knowing-—to prevent Wisdom of our Founding Fathers. Our Founding Fathers eliminated socialism-—they created a movement where we were are OUN masters since we were Designed in the image of God.
Christianity is the main pillar of Western Civilization and gave us the True idea of true Freedom, and that is why it has been targeted to be erased in the minds of children: it is vilified and marginalized in all of America and Europe 24/7-—even outlawed and persecuted by unconstitutional laws which promote Vice and reward Evil (unjust laws).
The Marxists and NWO cabal knew to make “happy slaves” (Fichte 1810) you have to get children out of the Natural (loving) Family-—away from nurturers and true educators (family)-—to destroy their ability to be Wise. (Cicero: Wisdom is discerning Good and Evil). GK Chesterton warned about the elite imposition of “mandatory” education systems in the early 20th century: The only purpose of mandatory education is to destroy the Common Sense in the Common people.
BTW, the whole Vatican II Marxist takeover, is to destroy Traditions and remove the ability to transmit Knowledge, Belief, and Wisdom of the Ages to the children. The infiltration which Pope Pius X spoke of had also infected the formation of men in seminarians in the early 1900s to “blur truth”—the infiltrators “changed” the curricula and standards (just like John Dewey did to public school curricula in USA, intentionally and Common Core has done completely now—even with math)..
Removal of the Traditions (Classical Education) destroyed the Catholic Church, destroyed Logic, from within and released the most vile and irrational pagan practices that are evident today in the Church (Cardinal Dolan and glorification of sodomy “for the children”) and created a system of “tolerance” (of evil) which tolerated the vile use of children by Satanic men. (They still are promoting Satanism openly now).
When Traditions are destroyed-—and our government systematically has unconstitutionally destroyed our Freedoms and Traditions since the turn of the last century, they use “Law” to promote Vice and Evil and destroy those who promote Truth/God. As Machiavelli stated: The Truth is more hated than Lies. The Catholic Canon is ONLY supposed to promote Truth (as is all “Just Law”) always, so they do not destroy the understanding of Truth in children and deform their Natural moral development. Virtue is essential for Freedom (all the founders and Marxists know that and that is why Sex Ed was developed—to destroy Natural Sexual Identity in children—literally destroy Virtue development in the next generation).
It is intentional....to destroy Wisdom—that ability to discern Good and Evil. Because they want a New One World religion where Man is god and God’s Laws can be totally ejected for their slave utopia. They need to create ignorant “useful idiots” since moral people would never agree to slavery. That is why the promotion of sexual libertinism—it is the easiest form of political control: Libido Dominandi—as St. Augustine stated, you have as many masters as you have vices. Vice makes slaves and you have the purposeful sexualization of children 24/7 so that passion will control Reason. It is to create puerile, irrational adults.
Christianity is the only religion aligned with Reason and Natural Laws. It is based on historical fact and gave us the concepts which made using other human beings (ANYONE—even the unborn) as a Means to an End is always evil.
“God is Dead” was shouted in the 1800s-—with the Wisdom of a man who understood the nihilism which would occur when you destroy 2000 years of Traditions and beliefs for a belief in “nothing” and impose it on a people; He predicted Stalin, Mao, Pot, Lenin, the sodomite John Maynard Keynes, etc.. You kill the only rational “God” and you kill Universal Truth and the Moral Law, and it will become Rule of Man.
