[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"'According to a Nov. 7 letter from Superintendent Joshua P. Starr to County Councilman George Leventhal, about 5.6 percent of students and 5 percent of teachers were absent on Eid al-Adha this year compared to about 3.2 percent of students and 4.2 percent of teachers the same day the previous week.'"

So, steady state absenteeism is 3.2-4.2% of students and teachers and muslim holiday is 5.6 and 5.0%.  Who knows what the standard deviation is...

Anyhow, MoCo made the national news for this, woo hop![/quote]

well, there you go. 1% pop on Eid, possibly due to muslim absentees.

More likely it was that Ali community activist mentioned in the article that just acted relentless about his personal view.

wonder how London and England is handling it? they have significant muslim populations and previously tried appeasement and multiculturalism. [/quote]
