De Blasio passed over the Hindu festival Diwali. Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights—which celebrates life, its enjoyment, and goodness—has historical origins dating back to Indian “harvest” festivals.............................Liberals catering to muslims as usual.

I heard De Blasio signed his injured Groundhog up for ObamaCare.

It's the least he could do - After all, the groundhog voted for him.

In the near future, the poor little babies will need to interrupt vacation/holiday to occasionally go to school.

Does the mayor of NYC actually have authority over the schools or is he just flapping his mouth?

What about the Flying Spaghetti Monster Church’s annual Meatball, Gravy and Parmesan Cheese Celebration?

May you be blessed by His noodly appendage.

Dear Liberal Dip-Sticks,

We don’t “celebrate” holidays in the schools with days off to promote religious values. We do it because the holidays are of such widespread American cultural appeal that a majority of students won’t be available for class anyway.

Think about it... if we didn’t close for Christmas, would your child be at school if you are a Christian? In most cases, no. The school is closed to respect the wishes of the community which does not want to send their children to school during an important religious or cultural event.

Stop using our schools to promote other agendas. We (conservatives) generally only close the schools for practical, not agenda-driven, purposes.

This figures.

There is more absurdity to Ramadan than meets the eye, however. The damn month-long garbage can be any time of year - they don’t use the same calendar!

Jackass PC butt-kissers jumped on Ramadan ONLY AFTER 9/11, when it happened to be near “winter holidays”. So these fools said we have to celebrate all “winter” holidays together in school, but last year it was in August! Has nothing to do with winter!

Jackasses!

Repeating a previous reply NY schools should be closed on 9/11 as a reminder of what the Muslims did to NYC!
