Florida: CAIR Action Leads to Elimination of all Religious Holidays
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a muslim supremacist group, is not happy that it did not get it Muslim Holiday. But they should be happy; they managed to intimidate the Hillsborough County School Board into taking a decision they did not want to take. (And, by the way, don't miss the World Council of Churches, the socialist "Christian" organization, serving as CAIR's lapdog.) Here is the story: Schools Scrap Religious Holidays
TAMPA - -- After weeks of delay and debate, the Hillsborough County School Board approved a 2006-07 calendar minus holidays for Yom Kippur, Good Friday or the Muslim holiday Eid Al-Fitr.The 6-1 vote represents a major shift from scheduling days off on religious holidays, a practice School Board Attorney Tom Gonzalez on Tuesday said was wrong.[...]
When the board leaned instead toward giving students three secular holidays in exchange for eliminating Christian and Jewish holidays as days off, Beadier said he feared a backlash. In a news conference Tuesday, Bedier called the change "just an excuse to hide bias against the Muslims."
Bishop Chuck Leigh, president of the Florida Council of Churches, backed him, saying, "I think it's really petty on the part of the school board. ... Instead of giving them one holiday, they decided they're not going to give anybody anything."
