"Democrats are moving Assembly Bill 2017 towards Gavin Newsom to sign. This will make Muslim holidays states holidays. Public schools and Universities CAN CLOSE to observe Muslim holidays. Democrats are the party of Islam"
"California schools erased Christmas.
"They renamed it "Winter Break" and told Christian parents the state had to stay neutral on religion.
"But now Gavin Newsom is about to sign a law forcing those same schools to celebrate Islam.
The Asymmetry Written Into the Law
Assembly Bill 2017 does three things California has never once done for Christians or Jews: it makes Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha official state holidays, authorizes school closures on those days, and directs the State Board of Education to build a model curriculum guide for classroom exercises marking the holidays.
"The bill passed the California Assembly 64-1.
"Sixty-four lawmakers voted yes.
"One had the nerve to vote no." . . .
. . . "The bill cleared the Assembly in May and ran through the Senate committee.
“California is home to one of the largest and most vibrant Muslim communities in the country,” said bill author Assemblymember Matt Haney. “AB 2017 is about making sure Muslim Californians are seen, valued, and treated with the same dignity as every other community in our state.”
"The legislative session ended Monday – which means Newsom either signs it or lets it die.
"He's going to sign it.
"Newsom has spent his entire political career building the coalition that wrote this bill – San Francisco Democrats, CAIR, progressive advocacy groups.
"The assemblymember who introduced AB 2017, Matt Haney, represents San Francisco." More.
