California Democrats Push to Make Muslim Holy Days State Holidays and Teach Islamic Observances In The Public Classroom

California Democrats are advancing a new bill that would establish two Muslim holy days as state holidays while authorizing the state to develop a new model curriculum for students to “acknowledge and celebrate” these Islamic observances in the classroom.

Funny how the Democrats are militant about separation of church and state but mosque and state? Not so much.

The Islamization of California is happening!

The bill, AB 2017, passed the State Assembly with a 64-1 vote

Democrats need to go in November! https://t.co/paVcp7sN4U

CA already has a fair rule: any student can be excused for any religious holiday. AB 2017 breaks that w/ 2 islamic holidays.

As CFC’s Leandra Wells told the Senate committee: “The state cannot celebrate them all, so it will keep choosing winners and losers among religions.” pic.twitter.com/tBr8X8xahK

California lawmakers’ push to make Muslim holy days state holidays sparks debate over school neutrality

Bill authorizes public schools to ‘acknowledge and celebrate’ Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in the curriculum

California lawmakers are advancing a new bill that would establish two Muslim holy days as state holidays while authorizing the state to develop a new model curriculum for students to “acknowledge and celebrate” these religious observances in the classroom.

The bill, AB 2017, passed the State Assembly with a 64-1 vote and advanced to the Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday. Authored by Assemblyman Matt Haney, D-San Francisco, the bill establishes Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha — two major holidays celebrated by Muslims around the world — as official state holidays and allows local public school boards and community colleges the option to shut down their campuses for both holidays.

Both holidays are traditionally celebrated over three to four days, but the legislation designates a single day of observance for each on the state calendar.
