- SF's school board is backtracking once again in the face of backlash and a threat of a lawsuit, this time over its decision to declare two Muslim holidays as days off from school. The board decided last month to add Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha to its district calendar as days of no instruction, but they face a lawsuit over there not being similar accommodations for Jewish holidays or other cultures' holy days, and now they plan to vote on a backtracking resolution Tuesday.
