Following the example of Lieb Elementary School, Columbus Manor School will exchange the annual Halloween parade for a fall festival next month. The holiday gift bazaars at both schools also will remain, but they'll likely be moved to the PTA-sponsored after-school winter festival. And Santa's annual visit probably will be on a Saturday.

They should go back to however they were doing it before. If the Muslim families don't like it, they can go back to whichever pile of sand they came from.

The Muslims can either leave the U.S. or start their own school and pay for it themselves.

I have a Muslim roommate. She’s from Turkey and hates strict Muslims. However, she thinks that strict Muslims must be accommodated in every way. She simply refuses to listen when I tell her that we have long-standing rules here about how much accommodation is necessary for minority religions. Our laws and customs mean absolutely nothing to her when it comes to Islam. She became upset recently when she finally realized, after 6 years here, that Christianity and Islam will remain separate, at least here in the U.S. I suppose this means that she thinks that we must all be killed or converted by the sword.

She has VISA problems and will be leaving this winter. As far as I’m concerned, she can take all but one of her friends with her, including the ones who have become citizens for convenience reasons.

One of her friends likes the U.S. fairly well. He says that Americans are better at welcoming newcomers than are the British. He became a citizen because he wanted to participate in our political system, which is good. Unfortunately, he really likes Hillary.
