References to Christmas, Easter, Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanahhave been stricken from next year’s school calendar in Montgomery County, MD. This was in response to Muslim demands that the school district give equal treatment to the Muslim holy day of Eid al-Adha
This stripping of all religious holidays off the calendar wasn’t exactly what Saqib Ali, former Maryland state delegate and member of the Equality for Eid Coalition, had hoped for.
“By stripping the names Christmas, Easter, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, they have alienated other communities now, and we are no closer to equality,” stated Ali. “It’s a pretty drastic step, and they did it without any public notification.”
The Maryland school district appears to have been battling the Muslims in their efforts by taking this action.

“And if my child went to school in Denmark, I wouldn’t be offended that they don’t celebrate anything but the state religion there.
But we here in the US are proud that we don’t have a state religion and that all are welcome!”

“Of all the stupid things. This is the US. If the school board doesn’t like that we don’t have a state religion, they should move to a country that does.”

This is NOT the AMERICA I grew up in ! And damn these fools for allowing this c**p to occur !
this is the same thing as complying with their demands, don’t do it.
What a bunch or maroons, any of you loudmouths want to cough up the legal fees that the school would need to fight CAIR and the ACLU ? You know damn well the ragheads would have sued the school if the schools had told them to ‘bite me’ .From what I read AND comprehended, the schools are still going to observe the regular holidays, just not post them on the calendar.
