It's not a state. It's a city. The level of education in New York is such that giving them every day off wouldn't hurt.
If the people don't like it diblasio won't get another term.

My opinion is the correct one.Islam is a cult of satan worshipers therefore not covered by freedom of religion. Libtards kissing the ass of stupidity again.
You are entitled to your opinion; however, the Constitution disagrees with you view. When it comes to the laws that govern this nation the Constitution supersedes your opinion.
No, it isn't actually. You free to be as ignorant as you wish concerning the law but do not expect the rest of us to follow suit.
Way to shoe-horn Obama into this thread though.
Being aware that Islam is Constitutionally protected under 1st Amendment does not make me a libtard. All that it does is show that I understand the laws that govern this nation.
Your opinion is ignorant, hateful idiocy.To bad Obutthurt doesn't follow it then. My opinion is the correct one.Islam is a cult of satan worshipers therefore not covered by freedom of religion.

“We’re here today to make good on a promise to our Muslim brothers and sisters that a holiday of supreme importance to the Muslim community will be recognized in our school calendar so that children can honor the holiday without missing school,” the mayor said.
“I want to thank Mayor de Blasio for adding Eid-al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr to the public school holiday calendar,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. “Islam is one of the largest religions in the world, and the Muslim community is thriving not just in The Bronx but throughout the city of New York. This decision allows our city’s Muslim community to fully practice their faith without it interfering with their school attendance and education. As I have said in the past, by recognizing these two important holidays, we show that not only are we welcoming to everyone’s religious beliefs but that we respect everyone’s Constitutional right to freedom of religion.”
Eid al-Adha will be observed for the first time on Sept. 24. Eid-al-Fitr, which falls over the summer, will be designated a holiday for those attending summer school.

Islam is not a religion..
Why would conservatives freak out? They actually believe in the Bill of rights, you know, not just the first amendment, but the second as well. . . .
Republicans will not oppose it. Islamophobics will.
Nope. Commies vote Dem, these freaks vote Pub. Does not make commies or freaks Dems or Pubs. They are parasites.Republicans will not oppose it. Islamophobics will.
One in the same
Why would conservatives freak out? They actually believe in the Bill of rights, you know, not just the first amendment, but the second as well. . . .
What does the topic of this thread have to do with either?

Why would conservatives freak out? They actually believe in the Bill of rights, you know, not just the first amendment, but the second as well. . . .
What does the topic of this thread have to do with either?
Conservatives, in general, support the constitution and the Bill of Rights. You will see multiple threads posted by folks on the left that wish to rearrange the constitution to get rid of the peoples right to bear arms. REAL conservatives do not wish to mess with the bill of rights, which guarantees the right to bear arms. Do we not see that in multiple threads?
As a parallel, most conservatives support the freedom of religion, and the establishment clause in the first amendment. When a city or locality decides to make allowances to reflect the preferences of the local population, this is the right of the people. The state is not establishing a religion, but is making an allowance for those who practice a particular religion in that particular locality. This is what the first amendment has been passed for, to allow for the free practice of religion. Most conservatives are FOR the free practice of religion and against the establishment of a state sanctioned religion.

What part of "unconstitutional" don't you understand?

Is recognizing Christmas as an official school holiday also unconstitutional?
Sounds good to me.It's a non issue. Take Columbus day off the Calendar.
How about Yom Kippur? Do they get that off as well? Hannuka?
Here in Florida, in order to make room for kids to have MLK day off, schools are open for Veterans Day
Do you believe this guy? If Christmas break has to be referred to as "winter holiday," then this decision has got to be blatantly unconstitutional
