Eid celebrations are significant cultural and religious events for Muslim communities worldwide, marking the end of Ramadan and a time of joy, gratitude, and sharing. Petitions under this topic focus on advocating for inclusivity and recognition of Eid as a public holiday, ensuring equal rights and accommodations for Muslims in society. One petition gaining momentum calls for schools and workplaces to grant time off for Eid, promoting religious diversity and understanding. Another highlights the importance of Eid festivities and cultural traditions, emphasizing the need for respect and acceptance in a multicultural society. Join the movement to support the recognition of Eid as a public holiday and promote inclusivity for Muslim communities. Your voice can help create a more inclusive and tolerant society for all.
As a Muslim, I stand with the muslim students who are willing to celebrate their Eid day with their loved ones which is a very important and special event for all Muslims worldwide and i am requesting from the board team to please set another date for the graduation ceremony.
As a Muslim, I support Muslim students who wish to celebrate Eid with their loved ones, as it is a significant and cherished occasion for Muslims worldwide. I respectfully ask the board to consider rescheduling the graduation ceremony to allow students to fully participate in this important celebration.
It's unfortunate that we have to petition for young teens to be able to choose between an important part of their high school experience and spending time with their families during a religious holiday. Imagine if this were happening on Christmas Day. How would the majority react? It's time to stop standing on a pedestal and recognize the importance of family and tradition. These kids deserve the time they need. Please, reconsider and reschedule this event.
Graduation is an important milestone and all kids should be able to participate without having to choose between a major holiday and a major milestone.
June 6, the first day of Eid Al-Adha, is a major religious holiday for many students and families. We understand changing the date now may not be possible. But this is a chance for the school to:
• Acknowledge the conflict,
• Offer recognition to impacted students,
• And commit to fair, inclusive calendar planning in the future.
Graduation wouldn’t be scheduled on Christmas — so why should students have to choose between their faith and their milestone? Other districts already do this. It’s not about special treatment — it’s about equal respect.
Let’s celebrate all students, fully and fairly 🤍
I firmly stand with Muslim students in their right to celebrate Eid al-Adha, one of only two major Islamic holidays. No student should have to choose between their faith and an important academic milestone. Recognizing and respecting religious diversity means making real changes, not just offering words of support. I fully support petitions to cancel or reschedule graduation so that Muslim students can celebrate without compromise. Equity and inclusion must be more than just ideals; they must be reflected in our actions.
Hi! IM BENZO AKA HAMZA from Burnsville High School. I’m being asked to choose between celebrating a major holiday, going to graduation, or worse spending that day with my best friend, MOHAMED DULALE. And honestly, I’d pick MOHAMED DULALE every time. This day is supposed to be special, but it won’t feel that way if I can’t share it with him. It’s not just about the event it’s about him
Every child deserves to attend their own graduation! Their hard work should be recognized and they should not have to choose between their religion and their education being celebrated.
