Broward Democrats Celebrate Muslim Ramadan, Ignore Christians On Ash Wednesday

2 Replies

A troubling national trend hit Broward yesterday as Democrats failed to recognize the start of the Christian Lenten season while celebrating the beginning of the Muslim Ramadan. The Democrat National Committee posted about Ramadan and even the Chinese New Year but remained silent on Ash Wednesday, the start of the Christian Holy Season. President Donald Trump and The White House made official remarks on Ramadan and Ash Wednesday.

One published report claims just 1.3% of Americans are Muslim.

Locally, some Broward Democrats mimicked their party line.

Democrat State House District 102 candidate Michael Friend made a Ramadan post on social media. “Wishing all celebrating a generous and meaningful Ramadan,” Friend wrote. He made no such wishes to Broward Christians celebrating Ash Wednesday.

Broward School Board Seat 6 candidate Roberto Fernandez conducted Muslim outreach as well. “Sending warm wishes for a calm and meaningful month to everyone observing. May this season bring thoughtful reflection, generous hearts, deep gratitude, and special moments shared with the people you cherish most,” Fernandez wrote.

Fernandez made no wishes to his Christian supporters on Ash Wednesday.

Why do Democrats celebrate Muslim holidays while ignoring Christian holy days?

Governor Ron DeSantis—Broward School Leadership Is A “Disaster,” Placing District Into Receivership Is An Option

Governor Ron DeSantis speaks at Broward College in Davie.

At a Monday morning press conference in Davie, Governor Ron DeSantis said the leadership of the Broward School District has been a “disaster.” DeSantis said, “it is really run to benefit the entrenched interests, particularly the school unions, rather than the parents and the students.” He said the Education commissioner would determine what authority can be used to correct the problems at the District.

DeSantis said those seeking to reform the District in past ran into a “brick wall.”

“There’s a handful of spots around the State where, maybe, thrusting some of these entities into receivership may be the best way going forward,” DeSantis said. “I think you could work things out pretty quickly.”
