In most public schools around the U.S.A classes are cancelled for Christian and Jewish holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah, while students of other faiths have to choose between going to class or celebrating their own holidays. The Muslim faith is one of the fastest growing in this nation. 3.3 million Muslims live in the United States And .63% are living in PA. Muslim students and their families who observe Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha shouldn't have to choose between an instructional day and their religious obligations.
