The San Francisco Unified School District board voted to hold off on a plan to close schools on two Muslim holidays until a new “calendering process” is developed.
After passing a resolution to include two Muslim holidays on the San Francisco Unified School District's calendar, the district's school board voted to reverse.
The San Francisco Board of Education has voted to recognize the Muslim holidays of Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha and to close schools and offices on those days.
For all the fuss the left makes about “getting money out of politics,” their actions tell a vastly different story. When conservative donors make or facilitate anonymous donations, liberals cry “dark money” and bemoan the supposed lack of accountability. If liberals truly wanted to get money out of politics, they would need to start with their own Tides organizations, which pioneered the very practice they claim to hate.
The liberal Tide Foundation and its offshoot Tides Center have together accepted $82.7 million in grants from the Federal Government, from 2002 to 2013. These grants support some of the 133 Tides Center projects. Tides Center projects include Ferguson supporters, population control proponents, and anti-Semites, but the tax data is unclear which specific projects the government is backing. Tides is also supported by liberal billionaire George Soros.
