I care because this country was founded on freedom of religion. Muslims only have two holidays a year, and I would appreciate it very much if we could have those days off for religious observance. Thank you

Candi supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve Better

HISD should recognize Eid as an official school holiday, just as it does for other religious observances like Christmas and Good Friday. Islam is one of the largest religions in the world, and many students, teachers, and staff in the district celebrate Eid. By not giving a day off, HISD forces Muslim students to choose between their education and their faith, which is unfair and unequal. Recognizing Eid as a holiday promotes inclusivity and respects the diversity of the student body. Just like students of other faiths don’t have to miss school for their religious celebrations, Muslim students should have the same right. Many other school districts across the U.S., including in New York and Maryland, have already made this change, setting an example of fairness and equity. HISD prides itself on diversity, and making Eid a school holiday would reflect that commitment by ensuring all religious groups are treated equally.

Malak supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve Better

I believe it’s unfair for the school to take away the celebration of Eid and not allow Muslim students to take a day off for it. This decision feels wrong and goes against the principle of the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of religion. Everyone should have the right to celebrate their beliefs, and it’s important for the school to support all students, regardless of their faith.

Sama supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve Better

I am signing this petition because removing Eid from the HISD calendar is a step backward in inclusivity and respect for all students. Recognizing Eid as a holiday ensures that Muslim students and educators are treated with the same fairness as their peers who celebrate other religious holidays. No student should have to choose between their faith and their education. HISD must reinstate Eid to uphold its commitment to diversity and equality

Knowledge is the antidote to fear. Exposing our students to the Muslim perspective allows them to embrace that community, expelling that sense of "the other". A day off for a Muslim holiday is a good start.

Francisco supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve Better

Houston is a very diverse city with thousands of muslims. We should be able to have the day off and have HISD to recognize Eid as a holiday. Other religions get day off for their holidays, why can’t muslims?

Layan supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve Better

Every human being has a right to choice of their religion and way of life and to celebrate their religious days with their family and friends without disturbing people of other faiths. Muslim community as all other communities have a right to have their religious holidays recognised and celebrated, as Muslims join their Christian and Jewish and others friends and classmates in celebrating their holy events.

mohammad supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve Better

Houston has historically been a multicultural hotspot for people of all ages, races, and religions, thus it is imperative that Houston ISD immediately repeals their decision to wipe out Eid as a district holiday and bring this injustice down.

Omar supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve Better

Houston is an extremely diverse city. Let’s try to be respectful of major holidays for all of the large religions in the country. We are not all Christians in Houston or Texas or the USA.

Kate supported: HISD Removed Eid - Muslim Students Deserve Better

As a Muslim mother i am really concerned about this issue as we are a large community, we pay all taxes and are citizens our religious rituals are important for us as others so there must be an acknowledgement from government level . Please do so... Thanks
