California Muslim holidays bill: the actual facts

AB 2017 lets public schools and universities close for Muslim holidays. The Assembly passed it 64-1. It's now in the Senate on its third reading. That's the bill. What's happening here is religious accommodation, not an "Islamic takeover" or a path to Sharia law. Multiple US states already allow closures for Hindu, Christian, and Jewish holidays. California is extending the same option to Muslim students and staff. The 64-1 vote tells you something: this isn't a partisan wedge. It's basic accommodation policy written into law instead of left to individual districts.
