CLEAN: US schools ponder Muslim holidays

The video discusses the efforts of Muslim communities in New York City to have their holidays, Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha, recognized in the school calendar. Despite support from the City Council, the proposal was rejected by Mayor Bloomberg. The debate occurs in a sensitive post-9/11 context, with some parents opposing more school holidays. However, Muslim parents remain hopeful for public acknowledgment of their faith.
