Muslim parents recently erupted when the Jersey City school board announced it would not suddenly cancel classes for all students to mark Islams Eid al-Adha holiday, due Sept. 24. The Muslim parents loudly protested even though the board said students can continue to take days off for religious purposes without penalty, including Sept. 24. But the parents wanted the state to accept their religious event, and to impose their holiday on other students.
One Muslim woman who attended the September 17 meeting said, Were no longer the minority, thats clear from tonight. Were going to be the majority soon.
According to Daily Mail, the Jersey City school board had originally proposed cancelling classes on the 24 but voted to keep Jersey City schools open so as not to cause disruptions for non-Muslim families. Board member Gerald Lyons explained that deciding to close the school on six days notice [would] cause undue hardship on 5,000 to 10,000 people, who are going to have to scramble to [make arrangements] for children being at home instead of school.
When the board announced this decision several of the Muslim parents and children screamed in rage and openly wept. Eid al-Adha is one of two religious holidays celebrated by Muslims around the world to mark the end of Ramadan.

Give them a whiff of the grape.
Islam is a cancer.
And the world needs chemo for it. Stat.
One MORE good reason to allow people school CHOICE. Let Muslims have their own schools.
Never ever forget how wonderful diversity is.
Just keep saying it over and over.
Fine. Close it down and throw a RibFest in the gym.
Hey you native born Americans. You know, the ones we’ve been telling you for decades this was going to happen
Now it’s here and your do-goodism and self guilt has created this monster
Thanks for nothing, jerkoffs

Great. Just what we need - more snowflakes.
They have no idea what they are in for.
Here we go- it’s just a stepping stone to them demanding we as a nation celebrate islamic holidays with paid time off
I’d be happy to see the end of Ramadan.
Are they going to accept Christmas, and Easter? Not just the days off, but the entire spirit and customs of OUR religious holidays.
I notice middle easterners who run convenience stores are ALWAYS open, on their holidays, and ours.
They are slowly seeping into cities and trying to gain control, just like the guy who is now mayor of London.
We gotta say “no” now, or in 20 years, we’ll be in Germany’s shoes...a nation of Islam.
So, it’s not good enough that the students can take the day off without penalty, they must force their religious beliefs on others.
Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Taoists and all the others must soon band together to fight this plague...................
A September 17th meeting from last autumn.
Well their attitude is as true now as it was then.
“Openly weeping” over not closing the schools down over this?
Even though their kids won’t be penalized? Just deal with it!
Stop being a spoiled baby.
Not that I would want to accommodate the Muslims but here Board member Lyons has revealed the true purpose of these "schools" which is to warehouse children.

Exactly...Why do we allow minorities to run roughshod over our country???
Why did George HW Bush start bringing in Muslims? Why does the USA continue to bring them in? Why is the world bowing down to Islam?
With lefty snowflakes it mostly stops with the tantrums. With muslims it progresses to throwing rocks and molitiv concktails, then blowing things up, then murdering people outright. This is how it begins, they are “good moderates” until they have sufficient numbers and then the begin to make demands that the rest of society conform to them. Eventually it turns violent until then you have 0% non mulsims there.
