Recently the politically correct City Council's Education Committee passed a resolution for the Department of Education to add two Muslim holidays to the school calender. Thankfully NYC Mayor Bloomberg has shot it down. Islam allows lying, rape, and what we would consider murder. It should not be honored.

Bloomberg: Schools Can't Observe Muslim Holidays
NEW YORK (AP) -- New York's City Council has passed a nonbinding resolution asking the Education Department to observe two important Muslim holidays. But Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the city is so diverse schools can't observe every holiday.
The city has the nation's largest school system. A 2008 study by Columbia University's Teachers College estimates at least 10 percent of its 1.1 million students are Muslim.
The resolution was passed Tuesday. It asks the Bloomberg administration to observe the holidays in schools and for the state to require it by amending education law.
The holidays are Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha. Eid al-Adha celebrates the willingness of Ibrahim -- known as Abraham to Christians and Jews -- to sacrifice his son. It is the most important Islamic holiday.
