[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1843942, member: 1246"] Via [URL='http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/09/22/were-going-to-be-the-majority-soon-security-gets-involved-as-school-board-meeting-gets-heated-over-muslim-holiday/']The Blaze[/URL]: The Jersey City Board of Education voted last week not to close schools for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, one of the most important holidays for Muslims. School board members in New Jersey made their decision Thursday despite appeals from Muslim attendees who showed up to advocate that the board change the school schedule. At one point, things became so heated that an official urged security to “take charge” of the situation. At least one person was seen on video being escorted from the meeting. “We feel alienated from the Board of Education, we feel alienated from this system,” Omar Abouelkhair [URL='http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Jersey-City-Schools-Meeting-Proposal-Close-Muslim-Holiday-September-24-328135831.html']told WNBC-TV[/URL]. “We’re going to be the majority soon,” another said.
