New York City schools will add two Muslim holidays to the calendar this year, Mayor de Blasio is announcing Wednesday.

“Today we’ll announce the addition of Eid al-Adha & al-Fitr to @NYCSchools holiday schedule, a change that respects the diversity of our city,” Hizzoner tweeted.

Perhaps it is a money issue, and the district needs some foreign Eid </s>

No....I fully expect that 9/11 will become a Muslim Holiday....but not the kind of holiday a real American Citizen would expect.

Count on it.

By the time they add holidays for Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Jainism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, Rastifarianism and Homosexualism there won’t even be enough school days left to teach kids the proper method for putting a condom on a banana.

Wait till they cater to all the minority groups, there won’t be any Public school days, because they will all be days off. Liberal Logic 101 rules. Home school kids, sorry no days off for you. Parochial schools have their own days off. PC the death of a nation.

This is the opposite of the direction we should be moving in. We need to be working to get Moslems OUT, no Islamify our country to suit them.

But we should not stop there The West needs to unapologetically declare a holy war in the name of Jesus and wage that war across the Moslem world. It should be a war for conquest and conversion using whatever means we need to use to be victorious. THAT is the only course that guarantees the survival of our civilization.

Meanwhile in Egypt, president Al Sisi is ordering some 28,000 mosques closed.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. I recognize the sheer number of quislings, fools, cowards, and idiots in this country. Resources would be better spent figuring out an exit strategy.

I can retire in less than a decade. I cannot wait to leave the city I once loved so much.

Predictable. The school systems are nothing more than a proving ground for the liberal world view.
