Special accommodations for muslims?
Hell no; although NYC Mayor de Blasio caved and has included 2 muslim holidays for New York schools.
For Muslims, it signals acceptance. "When these holidays are recognized, its a sign that Muslims have a role in the political and social fabric of America," said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, to the New York Times.
The fool de Blasio doesn't recognize the creeping sharia.
I’m sure they will, even should it take a bomb threat from some unscrupulous person.
Note that I ***AM NOT*** advocating such.
And what Jewish holidays are they closed, which I assume is far greater than the 2% who self identify as Muslim?
Ahh, right, it has nothing to do with Christian holidays nor religious holidays at all - it has everything to do with appeasing the Muslim minority. Here's the trick, schools - exactly which branch of the Muslim religion are you going to appease, because if you make the wrong choice, the other branches will attack you for it.
Vegetables should have green beans with bacon bits, mashed potatoes with bacon bits and chives, corn buttered with small amount of bacon drippings....creamed peas with bacon dripping country gravy, carrots with bacon strips...
Biscuits should have cheese and bacon bits inside, buttered down, home made bread should be slattered in bacon drippings...
That should just about do it for muslim foods...
Government schools should be abolished.
Fuch no.
We should Thomas Jefferson their asses.
Just say no.
NO NO NO! DAMN IT, NO!
I don’t recall Jews asking for this special treatment.
In fact, the Jewish kids in my school always got their work ahead of time and turned it all in before their High Holidays, and would generally cram the tests in the day before or during lunch or after school.
But I guess muslims are “special.”
Christmas? Easter? Come on now! The first is a mid winter federal recognized break to take in New Years Day as most people are going places then, and EASTER is Always on the Weekend when schools are closed!
Other than teacher’s meetings I cannot remember when the schools closed down except for bad weather.
But of course, that is not what Islam is about. Islam means submission.
They haven’t closed for Jewish holidays. Sorry muzzies, go to the back of the line and wait your turn...
American public schools? NO!
No school should close for ANY religious holiday......
Remember 9-11! Tell these b@$%@rd$ no. These Islamists are out for one thing....to destroy us. We need a leader who will stand up to these scumbags.
Govt indoctrination/brainwashing centers need to be closed. Period.
Christmas is a national holiday.
Less than 3% of the population is Muslim and that is 90% too many. So the short answer is
NO!
