Muslims need closed school days for religious purposes

Created by M.K. on March 11, 2013

schools nationwide have school days off for religious purposes. we want the same for all religions for fair treatment. Muslims have two holidays, Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Adha. we request that you allow students to have school closed on these two dates which may or may not consist of two days each. There are many Muslim students around the world and they deserve fair treatment as other students. Christians are allowed to have a week off for Christmas, Jews have school days off for Rosh Hoshana and Happy Hanuka. Muslims need to celebrate their religious holidays and not miss out on school to continue receiving their education without missing school, Thank You.
