New York Mayor, Bill de Blasio has announced that the two islamic holidays, Eid Al Adha and Eid Al Fitr will be added to the public school calendar. The New York public school system will recognize these two days as holidays and students will have these days off from school. This is such a significant decision that needed to be done. Hopefully other states will move to recognize the Islamic holidays as well. Islam is the fastest growing religion, and although this is not a Muslim country, it is good to see that Muslims are being acknowledged for their beliefs, culture, and holiday
