wow the complaint that was sent to the schoool board to band christmas was totally missunderstud what she really wanted was to add ramadan to the festivities not eleiminate all the other celebrations

Mr. Jasser doesn't make sense. If he believes in America as a democracy, then what is wrong with parents requesting Ramadan decorations? Nothing. 50% of the student body are Muslim, right?

I think he's the one who seeks out little battles just to get into the media spotlight.

@CATMERLINO1 allah means god in arabic. jesus called god allaha (he spoke aramaic, which is related to arabic.)

So if there were a majority Wiccan school, Glenn Beck would be against letting that school have some Wiccan celebrations, but he supports schools having Christian celebrations?

Nice job! Ahmed Rehab!

Glenn Beck should have asked his question at the end about Hindus and not Wiccans

fall break, winter break, spring break, and summer break. religion doesn't need to come into it at all. Why? because it's not your home, it's a school. If you want your kids wearing crosses or hajibs, cool, but there's really no need to celebrate any particular holiday. It just leads to futile debates like this one.
