If there's actually a good reason to do this Ramadan other than mindless tradition and dogma, why can't they move Ramadan instead so it doesn't cause all their kids to collapse during exams?

This is a worrying example of religious rules being considered above secular laws. I'm all for reasonable accommodation, but this is not reasonable in my opinion.

Pandering to Islam is about the worst thing we could be doing right now.
