Whitney Houston's funeral service really took the world to church. Love Pastor Winans' honesty, very moving.

A resolution is on the table in New York City calling for NYC schools to adopt two religious holidays:
-Eid Ul-Fitr (the end of Ramadan)
-Eid Ul-Adha (which celebrates Abraham/Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son for God)
The NYC Council passed the resolution last week, which would seem to give two breaks to the 12% of NYC school kids who are Muslim. But the city’s Mayor Bloomberg is speaking out agains tthe measure. He doesn’t want to further shorten the schoolyear, which already includes time out for Jewish and Christian holidays. As of now it is unclear whether the resolution will be formally passed.
According to the New York Times, the holiday resolution has already been adopted by some school districts in New Jersey and Michigan.
What do you think? Should Bloomberg let Muslim kids have those two days off? Stay tuned for updates…
