American School Bans Christmass

Whether practicing or not, America is culturally a Christian nation. And most Americans celebrate Christmas with varying degrees of reverence to the birth of Christ.

There are always movies that come out about some tragedy taking place and Christmas almost doesn’t happen for a group of people that year, but did you ever think it’d get canceled in real life???
Montgomery county school district in Maryland has just decided to eliminate Christmas and all ‘religious’ holidays from its calendar.
Why?
Because local Muslim families were protesting not having their major holidays included in the school calendar.
Local families were wanting to have Eid added to the school’s list of religious holidays, just like Christmas or Rosh Hashanah. Eid marks the end of Ramadan and is marked with large parties and exchanging of gifts.
The local school board felt so pressured to make the right decision, that their reaction was to strip the calendar of religious holidays.
