Make Eid a national holiday for all citizens.

What the petition asks

Make Eid a national holiday to allow people in schools and work to celebrate without missing education or using up leave of absence for work.
It’s not fair on the Muslim community to have to go to work or school or sit exams during a religious holiday and miss time spent with their families. By making it a national holiday it’ll be fair on all citizens and Muslims will be able to celebrate without any worries.
