| #14 Couple of archangels crossed paths at the gates of Heaven one day... Jibril wasn't no kind of coward, But with ear and first finger devoured, His one eye was cryin': "Izra'il, I is dyin'... I just tried to hoodwink Moe Howard." |

| #13 While treading the peaceable path, Clean soles will avoid Allah's wrath. Since infidels bleed it, Although you don't need it, Each Friday, please take a warm bath! |

| #10 Other than Christmas (which these days isn't really a religious holiday ) which Christian holidays does the school system observe? And Thanksgiving isn't really a religious holiday either. When I went to a Catholic school, we got off for all the Catholic holy days, but that was different. |

| #8 The claim is that Muslim students comprise 10% of the district population. And it's only two days, each one Eid al something, supposedly the most important days on the Muslim religious calendar. |

| #7 More off time for unionized teachers. Supporter rewards. (I can't increase their pay substantially, but I can give them more time off since they're non-hourly employees) |

| #6 Close the schools all the time. Home school your kids. Better education but probably won't save money, since the unions would require the teachers still be paid. |

| #5 They won't admit it, but this is likely for safety reasons. Don't want to give them a soft target on Bathe in the Blood of Infidels Day. |

| #2 Islamic population within the US has been estimated at 0.6%. This is simply another way the left who holds power in certain locations use their power to push against conservative America. |
