I agree with most posts here, but one thing i wanted to add was that growing up, nobody cared about Islam or Eid.

I remember we celebrated\learned about Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, and Diwali but whenever it was Eid, the teacher turned a blind eye.

exactly. whether it was islamic school or public school (i went to both), we learned enough about christmas and hanukah, but in public school we didnt learn squat about eid. instead of implying that learning christianity will make for better americans, it should be that learning about all religious celebrations equally makes for better americans.
