  • Nobody likes limits. God sets limits. So if I can convince myself that God doesn't exist, I don't have to worry about limits. I can do what I want. I think there's a big push in America to get rid of God for those exact reasons. "If you live like God doesn't exist, you better be right."
  • Do they?
  • They should enforce all of the holiday's :) Give them all a chance :)
  • Just how do schools enforce Ramadan.Schools do not enforce holidays.Ramadan is fasting for a month and it does not interfere with anyone.It is a tradition and they should be allowed to practice it.I do agree that all holidays should be celebrated and not just one.It is one strange school district if this is the case.
  • How is it impossible to celebrate Christmas and Easter? Isn't the entire school year for public schools structured around those two holidays? Don't they give about a week off at Christmas and a week off around Easter? They may call it "Winter Break" and "Spring Break" but they follow those holidays. Public schools don't take a week off for Passover (unless it coincides with Easter) and they don't take a month off for Ramadan. So isn't any kind of dietary alteration a relatively minor concession? And isn't that basically the same thing as always serving fish on Fridays for the Catholic kids? (Which they did at my public high school) Complaining about relatively small things like this makes Christians sound like such whiners..
  • Because the school systems are no longer about education but instead the processing of students. children are not being taught about other cultures but are instead being taught to follow and obey any mandate handed to them, no matter how ridiculous. Also, by stripping away cherished traditions from the children and replacing them with traditions that are alien to both child and parent, a resentment towards the new holidays is fostered as well it's originating culture. If anyone out there believes your school system is adequate for you child, you are wrong. The vast potential of your child will be systematically homogenized to a level of unquestioning compliance and then sent off into the world filled with people just like him...and that's why school's do stupid stuff like that.
