Some members of the Jewish faith said they felt they were being discriminated against because they weren’t getting their own school days off for holidays like Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. So the school board decided to keep schools open for Eid al-Adha.
The Blaze reported:
The Jersey City Board of Education voted last week not to close schools for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, one of the most important holidays for Muslims.
School board members in New Jersey made their decision Thursday despite appeals from Muslim attendees who showed up to advocate that the board change the school schedule.
At one point, things became so heated that an official urged security to “take charge” of the situation. At least one person was seen on video being escorted from the meeting.
“We feel alienated from the Board of Education, we feel alienated from this system,” Omar Abouelkhair told WNBC-TV.
“We’re going to be the majority soon,” another said.

Everything is important to a Muslim and cannot be negotiated. They need to be stopped.
Are you worried yet? You should be!
Keep voting Democrat and it's going to get a lot worse. I really don't like any party but we can fix the Republicans. THE Democrat's are off the hook with their ideas, laws, how the act. RADICALS! ! NO GOD. NO TRUTH. NO MORALS.
There are many countries that shut down for their holidays. They can be welcome there.
I love this!! In their own country they blow people up on their holidays yet we have to respect their holidays in our country. Another democratic city council trying to appease everyone but their own people.
TRUMP '16 before this country get worse.
USA is a Christian nation. One nation under God.
8:02 Not any more. Ignorant Democrats will vote any Muslim in the White House if it means a free welfare ride for them.
