Private Islamic schools do not give off for nonmuslim holidays. Nor do Jewish schools.

If half of a Jewish school's students were Christians, they would. It's just not common the way a large percentage of some area's Catholic schools are non-Christian.

I don't support Public schools giving off for non Christian holidays.

Why do you support giving Christian holidays off?

Furthermore, why would you support wasting taxpayer money?

A friend of mine is the principle of a Catholic school in a city with one of Canada's largest Muslim populations, and a large number of his students are Lebanese and African Muslims (who speak French). When he speaks to the parents about trying to accomodate their religious practices, they usually just say "it's OK. If we stayed back home, we would have sent them to Catholic schools anyways."
