An article in the Albany Times Union promotes a controversy brewing in local schools in upstate New York. A controversy in that schools are willing to close their doors during Christian and Jewish religious holidays - but not Muslim holidays.

"One request we have seen is for a room during Ramadan for students to pray in, and many districts are attempting to provide those."
