For districts where this is an issue, recognize Christmas and Yom Kippur and Eid, and give each student a floating holiday to celebrate one of their wish.
Schools can choose to remain open or not on these days as they deem feasible. If they do remain open, use them as review days so no new material is covered.
This issue is only going to get more attention, not less, if it is not addressed. The demographics are undeniable.
Christmas isn’t in the Bible anyway. Let’s not get our undies in a bundle over it. Passover should be given much more importance:
Exodus 12:14 New International Version (NIV)
14 “This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord—a lasting ordinance.”
“The demographics are undeniable.”
Maybe in Europe, where the Muslim population in some countries is approaching 15%. The Muslim population of the United States is 1.71%.
What’s undeniable is the way that 1% has figured out how to game the system and use our political correctness against us.
That’s not the point!! the Muslims came into this country and are demanding change to accommodate their sick warped laws .....before you know it they will be pushing sharia law down our throats. You give them an inch they take a freaking mile! Now imagine them having schools all across America in an abundance teaching our children to be anti-American and possibly train them as homegrown terrorist! I hate the muslim community because they are truly very frightening! Their agenda has always been to capture America and make it a Muslim country. England is so dangerously heading in that direction! If they don’t like the laws of this country I say deported them. Why should we change our way of living in our country to accommodate them .....hell no!!! They have an evil agenda and with the help of our laws they are accomplishing some of their wishes little by little. In England it is out of control because they never reigned them in now they are huge problem and endangering their way of life!! Even more scary imagine those hard-core Muslims making laws for America and having high positions in our government which will force the American people to accept their Muslim laws.
