[Watch] The Push is On – School District Recognition Sought for Two Muslim Holidays
[Watch] The Push is On – School District Recognition Sought for Two Muslim Holidays
Posted on 23 May, 2014 by Rick Wells
A growing Muslim population has given rise to a feeling of empowerment within that community, and a willingness to demand societal considerations. One of those considerations being sought is the addition of two Muslim holidays to those officially recognized by the local school district.
Waheed Khalid is the founder of the American Muslim Union. He counts the three to five hundred Muslim families in Teaneck, NJ, as being substantial enough to warrant recognition of their own holidays. One of those days is the close of Ramadan, and the other follows two month and ten days later.
An option which is currently being employed in neighboring New York City is the use of flexible time called “release time,” similar to floating holidays, which can be taken at the student’s discretion.
“That’s not good enough,” says Khalid, “that makes you feel like [a] second class citizen.” The calendar for next year is already set, but one can be certain this issue will not go away.
