Muslims Petition Obama to have national school holidays for their religion

Comment Up

We petition the Obama administration to: Support the movement of having Muslim holidays recognized in the school year, throughout the United States of America. With the growing population of Muslims in the United States of America (including first, second, third, and fourth generation) we believe it is high time that Muslim holidays are recognized by schools throughout this nation. Unfortunately many Muslim families are forced to choose between their children's education and their religious obligations. Muslim school children and staff deserve the same benefits afforded to the followers of other faiths. We call on President Obama to support this petition and advance the inclusiveness of our great nation.

Whitehouse Petitions

Islam in the United States is a minority religion, practiced by less than 1% of the total population, according to estimates. It all just keeps getting wackier.

How much longer will it be before some student declares that homework is against his religion? Or clothes?
