 Muslim students attending public schools who opted out of attending class to celebrate the Eid holidays missed class time, homework, and in many instances, missed exams which set them behind students of other religious backgrounds.In 2006, the first Muslim School Holiday Campaign to successfully pass the Muslim School Holiday Resolution was launched by the New York Civic Participation Project followed by its allied coalitions.The resolution, numbered 1281 passed unanimously by elected officials in 2008.
