Newsom establishes Eid as California holidays
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation recognizing Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays, making California the second U.S. state to do so. The law allows public schools and colleges to close and enables state employees to observe these holidays, though schools and businesses are not mandated to close. The move has sparked debate over religious accommodation and potential preferential treatment for Muslim holidays compared to other faiths.
