[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why couldn't they figure out the date of a holiday in advance? This is crazy[/quote] Eid dates shift because the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, meaning it is based on the cycles of the moon. It was supposed to be observed Saturday, but the date/sighting of the most recent new moon changed it to Friday. That being said- closing and cancelling all of these end of year activities for a small percentage of the school community is absurd.[/quote] If you want a multicultural society, and think diversity is a strength then you have to be comfortable getting a little uncomfortable. Embrace change. It isn't 1955 anymore.[/quote] People are part of various communities- in this case, religion and school. We are all going to have to compromise and that may mean we understand we may have to choose between our school community and our religious community from time to time. Such is life.[/quote]
