Designated terrorist group CAIR applauds Baltimore County School Board’s submission to Islam by deciding to close all schools on Muslim holidays

Starting with the 2020-2021 school year, Baltimore County Public Schools won’t be open on Eid al-Fitr, which is a religious holiday in the Muslim religion. The school system would become the first in Maryland to close on the two Islamic holidays, Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr.
There are no estimates of the number of Muslim children in the Baltimore County school system because the county doesn’t collect data on students’ religion.
Back in August 2016, the Board of Education (BOE) met in Towson, MD and voted regarding the permanent Eid holiday closings for public schools in Baltimore County.

CAIR “This historic victory is the culmination of a decades-long battle by local leaders to seek equal recognition for the county’s thousands of Muslim children,†said CAIR Director of Maryland Outreach Zainab Chaudry. “It sends a message to Muslim students and parents that school officials are paying attention to their needs, and that they are valued, seen and heard.â€
