[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jew in NOVA here whose kids aren't off for the Jewish holidays. We pull them out but have no issue with it. Muslim observers should do the same. [/quote]

But in MCPS, which is the school system under discussion, the kids are off for the Jewish holidays, as well as the Christian ones.[/quote]

If MCPS closes for Christian and Jewish holidays, which it does, this request by the Muslim community seems fair to me.[/quote]

That doesn't even follow logically. How is it fair? [/quote]

I'm the poster who said it seems fair. (I'm not the poster who asked you what pair of fair you don't understand, or whatever that was.) Islam is one of the three Abrahamic faiths; most people who identify as religious in MoCo probably identify as Christian, Jewish or Muslim, in that order.

MCPS closes on holidays associated with Christianity and Judaism. Why not honor this request as well? [/quote]
How about Wicans? Why should they not get theirs?[/quote]
