Some residents may be fuming, as the headline below says, but many more are thrilled. Mass Somali Muslim migration has altered the demographics of Minnesota forever. The Rochester Public School district is merely recognizing the new realities, and bowing to the fact that Muslim students weren’t coming to school on Eid al-Adha anyway. This is just a symptom of a much larger problem that no one wants to address, and most still dismiss as a “conspiracy theory,” and that problem is Islamization, the Islamization of Minnesota and, eventually, the U.S. as a whole.
“Minnesota residents fume after Eid added to official school calendar as Christmas, Easter holidays are erased, replaced with winter, spring breaks,” by Avery Hill, Post Millennial, June 18, 2026:
Rochester Public Schools in Minnesota added the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha to its 2027 to 2028 calendar. The move, which was approved in a 4-1 vote, was justified by Superintendent Kent Pekel due to the number of absences on Eid al-Adha.
“When a larger group of students is gone, it can have a very negative impact on instruction,” Pekel told KIMT3. “And it can sometimes, for very reasonable reasons, lead to a teacher deciding not to introduce new content on days when they otherwise might have.”
The outlet reported that Rochester Public Schools serves about 17,500 students. The average number of absences in May 2026 was 1,682, but on Eid al-Adha that number grew to 2,354.
The vote has received pushback, with some concerns focused not on attendance but on the principle behind the move.
“We must be prepared to justify why days like Good Friday, Rosh Hashanah, or Diwali do not meet the same threshold,” Justin Cook, a member of the Rochester School Board, said. “I just do not believe our district should be in the business of drawing these lines.”…

So the parents should keep their kids home on Good Friday, Rosh Hashanah, and any other days they hold as special days for religious reasons.
If that doesn’t do the job, think up or make up other days the parents can dream up to keep their kids home in massive numbers. Pentecost for both Jews and Christians.
And if that fails, take the kids out and home school.

create parochial school
form coalition, get an attorney, refuse to send your children to “public” school, and class action suit to stop funding spread of islam

Old White Guy,
There’s a video online done by a man named William Federer. He gives the history of Islamic domination from its founding to the fall of the Ottoman Empire. What these pseudo intellectuals are doing for these Jihadi’s is playing right into their hands. These tactics are what Islam has used for centuries to conquer nations.
Bob says
Don’t wait – take your kids out of all public schools now and home school them! One of the best decisions you’ll ever make!

Why are we complaining
What did you expect
First the saturday people.. then the sunday people
Then the rapes and death
Remember to hate dem israelis
owensgate says
This is because the Left demands that not only must we admit ALL migrants into our country, we must ALSO change and substitute THEIR heritage for ours, to make them feel more welcome. Perhaps we can equal theirs so much they’ll think they’re back in the country they came from, and decide to leave. Texas will be first to go – they’ll change Texas to “The Islamic State of Texas”.

More likely NY or MI or MN.

࿗Infidel࿘ says
So will that school be slaughtering live animals halal style on the school playgrounds? Since that’s what Eid ul Adha is famous for – muslim cities becoming open air slaughterhouses
I saw a photo on @X recently of muslim kids on Eid ul Adha running around w/ blood stained shirts. The poster commented that a lot of us are non-vegetarians, but nobody goes around wearing clothes drenched in the blood of the animals that were slaughtered. That’s something unique to this glastly cult, and that’s what this school has chosen to celebrate
somehistory says
Next up: the day when those who scourge themselves and the blood pours down their backs will be celebrated on school grounds, whips provided by the staff.

Good question, Infidel.
JS says
Look at why and what this EID holiday is. I only found out a month ago. It’s crazy and more stolen religious , but added their brutality for good measure. It’s difficult to have any kind words for them.
gravenimage says
Yes–Eid al Fitr is about conquering Infidels, and Eid al Adha is stealing the story of Isaac–and celebrated by cutting the throats of animals in the streets until they run red with blood. And huge numbers of Muslims have openly said that this is practice for murdering Infidels.

Kent Pekel. He looks about what you would expect. Soft and squishy. There are no men on the left.

Minnesota: Let’s celebrate the muslim grift ($18 billion) of social services. it’s for the children.

Minnesota: Public school district erases Christmas and Easter holidays, adds Eid al-Adha
…………………………………………………
*Just insane*. And all the worse because this “hioliday” celebrates Muslims brutally slaughtering animals in the streets–and is closely linked to murdering Infidels by cutting their throats in the same way. Many Muslims–including Muslim clerics–have said that the butchery of Eid al-Adha is practice for murdering unbelievers.
Spiro says
The leftist and Muslims show up to demand to vote to protest to get their way what do the other group like Christians and jews and a few others write pst complain but show up to vote no
Show up to protest no
Make demands no
Protest no
So you get what your willing to live with and tolerate until your rights are gone
Then it’s who do we blame not ourselves

There’s always some luttle Kent causing problems

Howard County, MD has also gotten rid of Easter Monday holiday for Eid. Not sure if any other counties in Maryland have done the same or if any other holidays have been highjacked.

Scary.
OLD GUY says
We are looking at the beginning of the attacks by islam created by the migration invasion of America by islam. It is going to get way worse for our grandchildren.
Like the Roman says
Just look at Europe if you want to see where pandering to Islam leads. In the USA Muslims currently only make up a very small percentage of the total population but they self-segregate in chosen areas and therefore have a disproportionate impact on the borough or county and, in the end, that city and region (Dearborn, Michigan comes to mind) are subjugated.
Just look at where I am in the UK – Muslims equal around 6.5% of the population but 18% of the prison population. They are also disproportionately responsible for terror and sexual crimes, although this picture is mixed – in that some Muslim ‘communities’ are worse than others.
In Germany, this is 7% of the population but 30% of the prisoners. Approximately the same is true in France and Sweden, for example.
This is not ‘islamophobia’ or some other nonsense because our governments try their best not to imprison Muslims and to make allowances for them – the grooming gangs in the UK demonstrate this.
The moral of the European story is this: IF you allow a loud minority, to start imposing it’s view on the majority, if you make exceptions for them, if you fail to stand up for American culture, then what starts with a holiday on Eid, becomes Sharia ‘councils’ running aside real courts, becomes Halal only meat served in your restaurants, schools and all that your superstores stock. Becomes in 3 generations an Islamic state…
Learn from Europe, demand an end to immigration from high-risk Muslim countries or else before long the tail (with the hope of useful idiots on the left) will be wagging the dog and the dog can no longer bite back.
