NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) New York City public schools have added two Muslim holidays to the school calendar, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina announced Wednesday. Schools will now close for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, making New York City the largest school district in the nation to recognize the two holidays on the official school calendar. We are committed to having a school calendar that reflects and honors the extraordinary diversity of our students, said Farina.

I remember when they started teaching about islam in mass public schools in the 1970’s. Like bad haircuts, it passed.

Do any of these Holidays conflict with Festivus?
I’ll bet the Authorities would be up in arms if a Kid brought a Festivus Pole to School.

Does NYC have any Christian holidays? I bet Christmas was replaced by Winter Solstice long ago.

Ya’ know the statement that muzzies are anti-gay is not true. A lot of young muzzie males are defiled by the older ones. Thighing and who knows what else they do occurs to this very day and of course they do it within the parameters of the quran...they are truly animals and need to be eradicated....wilheim needs to be drawn and quatered along with barry. Screw islam .(no pun intended)

Ill bet the Authorities would be up in arms if a Kid brought a Festivus Pole to School. If so, the kid should engage the authority figure in a Feat of Strength.

“Jus another school system in the long line already doing it. Like mine and our neighboring systems.”
I didn’t know it was outside of NYC; it’s worse than I thought.

this predates Bush by a generation True. But can you imagine FDR saying something like "On December 7th, 1941 we were attacked by Japan. Most Japanese are very peaceful, but a few of them have perverted the Bushido code."
No, FDR told it like it was, and rallied the nation. Bush did not. I can't give him a pass on that.

Just wait until DeBlasio shows up at the Airing of Grievances Dinner.

Probably a good time to hunt up two "holidays" from every non-mainstream religion in America (including those you list as well as Santaria and Wicca) and start to petition that ALL of them be incorporated into local systems;
not like the kids were learning much of any value by attending public schools anyway.

The Bush Doctrine (”we will make no distinction between the terrorists and the nations that harbor them”) was the single most effective policy in generations.

‘Thanks W!’
To explain yet again, what is meant by Islam is the ‘Religion Of Peace’ is that when all the world becomes Islamic, THEN there will be P E A C E.
