Don't make me choose between my education and my religion. Jewish and Christian students have days off for their religious holidays within the CUNY system, but the two holidays that Muslims even have within the year aren't even recognized by CUNY. There's clearly something wrong here.

It is unfair that we do not get days off for our holidays but other religions do.

It's only fair that all CUNY students have the chance to celebrate their own holidays without having to worry about missing any class time . Our holidays deserve to be recognized just as much as any other holiday .

It's not fair that Muslims aren't able to spend there holiday with their family and when if they do take a day off they will missing work or falling behind on work!

We are a big part of the American society and we deserve recognition. All we are asking for are 2 days from the 365 days of the year. This will spread love and respect among all. Thank you .. Peace

Its the right thing to do, we were founded because of religion tolerence. We should respect their religion by having them have off.

Eid is a religious holiday on the American calendar, we should all get off on this day.

This is our right and is not fair that we don't get off.

I am Jewish and CUNY gives us days off for our holidays, so it's only fair that Muslims get days off for their holidays too.
