Philadelphia schools add two Muslim holidays

[ShootSpeeders]

The city says it's about religious freedom but Islam is NOT a religion. It's a political movement that calls itself a religion to get just this sort of special treatment.

Philadelphia schools add two Muslim holidays

june 1 2016 The Philadelphia School District will add two Muslim holidays to its calendar and the city will create a task force to study doing the same for the city’s calendar, officials announced Tuesday.

“Philadelphia’s history is based on being a place where religious freedom is part of its founding ethos,” Mayor Kenney said at a news conference in City Hall. “Our city was built on the idea that while we may be different in nationality and ethnicity, the city welcomes all to worship and practice the faiths of our culture or our choosing.”

The two holidays are Eid al-Fitr, celebrated after the month-long observance of Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha, celebrated at the conclusion of the annual Hajj pilgrimage.

Of course if this means no school on these two days, you know that the kids won't have a problem with it.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. I have mixed feelings about this kind of thing. I try to be respectful of other people's beliefs, but if every holiday was acknowledged, how much school would there be then?
