New York City public schools have added two Muslim holidays to the school calendar, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina announced Wednesday.
Schools will now close for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, making New York City the largest school district in the nation to recognize the two holidays on the official school calendar.
“We are committed to having a school calendar that reflects and honors the extraordinary diversity of our students,” said Farina.
De Blasio said the change means that Muslim families won’t be forced to choose between observing the holidays and sending their kids to school. The announcement was made at PS/IS 30 in Brooklyn, where officials said 36 percent of students were absent the last time Eid al-Adha fell on a school day.

Yet Christmas and Easter are still referred to as “the holiday season” or ‘winter break’, no?

Hadn’t you heard? The image of the flying spaghetti monster is offensive to Moslems. That is the real reason why ISIS said they would march on Rome.

Incrementalism play by play towards sharia. Its going to start creeping faster if there’s no pushback too.
