schools should not close for any "religious" observance.  Fuck 'em.  Go pray on your own time.

Quote:After backlash, New Jersey school won’t close for Islamic holiday Eid al-Adha

Quote:But NBC New York reported that Jewish members of the community claimed discrimination, since they do not have off for the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

The Hindus should protest too, as they seem to have about 400+ holidays a year.

Despite the stupidity of closing schools for religious holidays, at least the kids should be happy about it. Smile

I would have rather stayed in school.

Damn right He does!

It should be law to make all religious holidays mandatory time off from work (paid!) and school!

My beliefs iz not being respected!

No school meals during Ramadan!  It tempts the muslim students to break their fast!!

The Jewish kids need the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Ingathering, and Passover off for their religious holidays.  

The Chinese kids get holidays galore.
