They have every right to complain but where is it written that we must indulge them? This is foolishness. Just another reason not to send children to public schools. Let those that will wallow in their silly ideas of fairness and desire for ambiguity and indulgence of the perpetually offended. I personally will not sacrifice our culture for do gooders who would protect us from the “threats” of Harry Potter, Halloween, and Christmas.
“The move came after school officials fielded complaints from a parent who is Arabic.”
If they don’t like our holidays, tell them to go back to where they came from.
How about Samhain?
Any idea where in Illinois this occurred? The news item doesn’t give specifics.
There is definitely something wrong when a school district decides to change holiday names because of one Arab.
If you or I went and moved to Saudi Arabia-Egypt Pakistan etc., would they change the name of Ramadan?
Time for Christian parents to step up and fight this...both administratively via challenges, and with guerilla tactics as well--for instance sending children in with Christmas garb, handing out and putting up posters for Christmas, singing Christmas carols in school, etc.
Ramadamn is now to be called the “eating after dark” fiesta, so the Hispanics wont feel left out either...
What part of "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" do these idiots not understand?
The United States has - quite simply - gone insane.
Millions of Christians in this country and these asshats fold to one complaining mulim. What a bunh of worthless gutless bastards we have running our government, state and federal.
A memo regarding overtime pay a few years ago from a large Milwaukee health system referred to Christmas as the “December 25th Day Holiday”.....
This one scumbag Arab is enjoying a power trip granted to him by his adopted country. The ungrateful ba*tard deserves any fate that befalls him for this thumb-in-your-eye gesture to his community.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Except for those who sell ski equipment and the like or run muontain resorts who the hell would celebrate winter?
Halloween has been fall festival here for years (in the public school system). Christmas and Easter break changed to Winter and Spring breaks. It’s all about PC terms now.
And we idiot Illinoisans support this ridiculous activity through our property taxes. We should hit them where it hurts, in the wallet, but this is Crook County, Illinois. A God-forsaken, politically correct sanctuary county.
