[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if the Muslim community will now press their Muslim brothers in the middle east to show some respect towards Jews and Christians.

Nah - they don't care about other religions.  I'm sure they are happy now  that they got the Jewish and Christian holidays wiped off the calendar.[/quote]

I am an AMERICAN Muslim and MCPS teacher. As an American who believes in democracy and free speech, I believe that the Muslim community had every right to advocate for the day off even though I never supported the idea.  The community NEVER asked for the other holidays to be removed from the calendar.  That was a decision made by the Board of Education NOT supported by the Muslim community.[/quote]

MCPS Muslim parent here. I agree with the teacher. No one wanted the religious names removed from the calebdar . That was never the issue.

Also, I'd love to see some numbers of predicted absences county wide for each religion. I would accept whatever threshold MCPS imposes on being disruptive.

And the hate on this thread makes me nauseated. In an AMERICAN, a mom, a doctor in this community, and I'm a Muslim.[/quote]

NP here. Please rest assured the actual number of anti-Muslim posters on this thread is undoubtedly very small and is in no way representative of the DCUM majority. We are all one human family. [/quote]

Yeah-let's hear you say that when they build a low income housing project in your Whitman neighborhood or bus a "boatload" of newly arrived, illegal hispanic kids to Churchill, or better yet build a Gaza area resettlement/refugee center in Chevy Chase.......we are all one "human" family allright![/quote]
