That Thing Democrats Say Never Happens Just Happened Again In California

The Islamafication of the West – and the United States – is continuing apace in the bluest anti-American reaches of the country.

The California legislature passed Assembly Bill 2017 by a 64-1 margin, putting Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha on the official state calendar and authorizing public schools to conduct exercises “acknowledging and celebrating the meaning and importance” of the Islamic holidays. The bill is now headed to Gavin Newsom’s desk.

This is the same California legislature whose school districts have spent years renaming “Christmas vacation” to “winter break” in the name of religious neutrality. It is the same California that has steadily reduced Christmas pageants, Easter references, and Christian symbolism from public education — to protect, we were told, the principle of separation of church and state.

Apparently that principle applies only to one religion.

California Family Council Vice President Greg Burt asked the obvious question: “This is not about teaching, this is encouraging the celebration of a religious holiday. What happened to neutrality? It doesn’t make any sense.”
