Re: Suburban Chicago district adds Ramadan to list of school holidays
Dude this isn't just about some kids in school and their parents.
Broaden your scope a bit. This isn't just about religion in schools. This is about a creeping change in America's character that will increasingly affect many other issues such as business, politics, finance, family life, the public and private sector and so on, in the coming generations.
For a long time everyone had the assumption that America was a Christian, or Judeo-Christian nation, even though no such specification exists in the Constitution. Simply because the majority of the inhabitants practiced one branch or another of the Christian faith, and even though this majority has been here for a relatively short time - 200-odd years at best. Before that, America wasn't a nation to speak of, and who knows what the natives used to call it.
Whatever. The fact is, Christian settlers came, multiplied and changed the facts on the ground, and now history is repeating itself with different groups of people or ethnicities spreading in America. Hispanics are one, Muslims are another.
Why else do you think they call us the Fifth Column?
