Proposed changes to the Montgomery County Public Schools' calendar are sure to get a lot of attention at a school board meeting Tuesday.
Montgomery County Schools Superintendent Joshua Starr is proposing three options for next school year.
The first, which Starr recommends, would remove references to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, while still closing schools on those days.
Option two would keep the current calendar, and the third option would add a mention of the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha, which in 2015 happens to be on the same day as Yom Kippur.
"I have considered the concerns raised by some representatives of the Muslim community about the desire to recognize Muslim holidays and close schools on Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, or at least have these days noted on the school calendar," Starr wrote in a memo to the Board of Education detailing the proposals.

ReplyDeleteIf you're going that route, you might as well just start with Holiday #1, Holiday #2, Holiday #3, and so on.
ReplyDeleteInsult everybody. Don't discriminate.
Sheesh!
Second that.
ReplyDeleteIf we went to live in a Muslim country and wanted Christian or Jewish holy days listed on their calendar for our school; I'm sure they would do this for us, right?
ReplyDeleteNO, as a matter of fact, you would probably be beheaded. And we are considering this??? WHY???
If they want to live in a Muslim country, leave NOW and never come back. Do you understand they will not stop this crap until they have broken our institutions down and they can declare a caliphate!!!
Let's see what our newly elected can do to solve this ridiculous riddle. Hint: IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO FIGURE OUT!
ReplyDeleteEveryone wanted change. Hope you all are happy in a couple of Years we will not be living in a American Country..But a MUSLIM STATE and will be under Muslim Law it is coming soon to a town near you.
