Christmas and Halloween Un-Canceled

At an emergency meeting last night, administrators and parents of Illinois’ Oak Lawn school board decided to allow Christmas and Halloween to exist.

But they were only able to justify it by adding Ramadan to the school holidays. Which was probably the point of the whole exercise.

Resident Bryan Schapiro argued that long-standing traditions are under attack.

“For a number of years now I’ve seen something change every year because it goes against Muslim beliefs,” Schapiro said. “Traditions that have been beloved by children in America for centuries are now being taken away little by little because the Muslims want the school day, menu and social traditions tailored to their needs.”
