Montgomery Co. ed board strips religious holiday references from new calendar
http://www.wtop.com/46/3740504/Md-county-strips-religious-holiday-references
ROCKVILLE, Md. -- Montgomery County Public Schools will remove religious labels from school holidays, but members of the Islamic community say the adjustments to the school calendar do nothing to gain parity and a day off for the Muslim holiday of Eid.
The school board approved the school calendar for the 2015-2016 school year Tuesday. The calendar will no longer reference specific religious holidays but rather state simply that school will be closed on dates that correspond with holidays, such as Eid, Yom Kippur and Christmas.
Saqib Ali, a former Maryland state delegate and co-chair of Equality for Eid, was not happy with the board of education's action Tuesday.
Some people need to be offended all the time. :mental: :loser:
-
I have no sympathy whatsoever for the practitioners of the religion of peace.
-
I wondered how long it would take for the Muslims to want equal recognition.
-
Did the school treat all religious holidays equally? Do all students get the day off for Eid?
Then shut your piehole, bacon-hater.

Wonder no longer. That time is here.

The only upside I can see is that they're being treated worse than the LGBLTs (hold the lettuce).

First grade ideology. Take away all the holidays for the sake of a few.
-
We should stop all federal holidays except those that are truly national and for all people. No more should government employees get so many paid days off.
Two national holidays, Memorial Day and Independence Day. :rant:

So how do you feel about personal time off?

That's negotiable between employee and employer, just like vacation time.
ETA: I'm just sick of all these idiots complaining about what the holidays represent, but are more than willing to take a paid day off for the holiday.

OK, give the muzzies a day, call it, "Kiss My Infidel ASS Day".

That sort of rationale is everywhere sadly, and not limited to just holidays.
We need less of that, and more of this:
"... I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy likes who likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-O all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener."
