I would love to kick the teeth out of the old cow spouting off, and the one saying, "we will be the majority soon". Get this garbage out of the country before it's too late.
==========================
New Jersey Muslim parents raged at school officials last week after a school board refused to close schools for the Islamic holiday Eid-al-Adha.
Parents screamed while others openly wept as the board voted to keep schools open on the Muslim holy day.
One parent addressed the board, saying, “We’re no longer the minority, that’s clear from tonight. We’re going to be the majority soon.”
The board voted to reject the proposal to close schools on September 24 to allow Muslim children to observe the holiday came just two weeks after the Jersey City City Council voted unanimously to close schools.
During the contentious four-hour meeting, the board voted to keep schools open instead so as not to “cause disruptions for non-Muslim families.”
“Doing this at this point on six days’ notice for this upcoming holiday is going to cause undue hardship on 5,000 to 10,000 people who are going to have to scramble to get coverage for their children,” board member Gerald Lyons said at the meeting.
The board did however agree not to penalize Muslim students who did not attend school that day.
The school board will revisit the proposal later this year.
New York City approved school closures for Eid Al-Adha in March.
