Let’s see - Christmas vacation has been replaced with “Winter Break”, Easter by “Spring break” and now they want to put in a muslim holiday!! Even thanksgiving is being erased. This is beyond outrageous.
It’s interesting what you say about Thanksgiving. I was talking to a Jewish friend recently about the rise in interest of the lovely harvest holiday of Succot. It’s become very popular in the Northeast. She said offhandedly, “It’s replacing Thanksgiving.” I was truly appalled and as usual, was too shocked TO SAY ANYTHING.
She is only one person and I have Jewish blood on my maternal side (I now know why I have such a good sense of humor!), so don’t flame me. I am a major Zionist but was sadly taken aback by this statement.
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur have been holidays in some areas since the 70’s. I lived in one of those towns.
BINGO! Chistians and Jews and not allowed to have "religious" holidays anymore, but "muslims" get one. Something just doesn't pass the smell test here.....
Amazing we still get to celebrate Thanksgiving given Obama thinks Muslims were here first.

Snip: . I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story.
Cambridge gives Christmas Eve as a holiday, and Good Friday, and Thanksgiving, and Rosh Hoshanah. Easter is on a Sunday, so it doesn’t really warrant mention, does it?
