(Connecticut Post) Mac Abuzneid chose to move to Trumbull in 2018 because of the local school district. But while he likes the schools, there’s one problem, he said.
Abuzneid is one of several Muslim town residents who spoke at a recent Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Taskforce meeting and asked the town’s school district to allow their children to take days off to observe Muslim holidays, including Eid al-Fitr.
“I hate to ask my kids not to go to school on a Muslim holiday and I will appreciate if you consider and add our holiday to the school calendar,” Abuzneid said.
While the district observes Christian and Jewish holy days as holidays, the district does not observe any Muslim ones.
