We are going to be the majority soon- video

During a School Board Meeting in Jersey City, a district of 27,000 students, on Thursday 17 September, 2015, there was a heated debate over the Muslim holiday Eid al-Ahad 24 September, 2015 not being a day off from school. Many Muslims came to the event to voice their concerns, and were told simply that it is not possible to schedule a school closing in a weeks time as it put an undue burden on 5 to 10 thousand other who would need alternative care. The school board also stated that Muslim students would not be counted as absent for taking the day off for religious reasons. Jewish families in the district also voiced concern for giving this day off as the district does not close schools on Jewish holidays such as Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The School Board plans to readdress this policy over the summer as it plans next years schedule.

A calendar that was worked out prior to the star of the school year. More districts could be following this new schedule, however one must ask, at what point do we say no to the holidays? This could easily be the start of heading down the rabbit hole as next we will probably see groups asking for days like such as Zero Debt Day January 8th, or Darwin Day February 12th. Stay tuned for a list of non-traditional holidays that could quickly become official days off.[mwi-cat-listing cat="94" ppp="4" cols="4" desc="false" type="view" btn_color="black" ]
