Update: School Keeps Christmas, Halloween; Adds Ramadan
Anger Rises Over Rumors Of School Nixing Halloween
Interesting article.
Elizabeth Zahdan is at the center of the storm, a Muslim mother of three who requested that her children be separated from others at lunch during the Ramadan fast.
The schools agreed, but many parents didn't. Ok. Fine.
The schools agreed, but once non-Muslim parents turned up the heat, Superintendent Tom Smyth said, "I go back to our policy which says that public schools are to remain neutral in this respect."
What's neutral about allowing the Muslim students time for Ramadan, but taking away other traditional US holidays?
