A contrast is drawn between Denmark's proposal to include the controversial Prophet Muhammad cartoons in school textbooks and New York City's decision to add two Muslim holidays, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, to the public school calendar. Mayor Bill de Blasio's move is described as a significant win for the city's Muslim community after a nine-year advocacy campaign.

A parish north of Boston reported an act of vandalism involving a pig's head during the Christmas season. The hosts discuss the increasing secularization of religious holidays, noting how Easter has been rebranded as "Spring Break" in many contexts. They suggest that if society wants to remove the religious roots of these days, the holidays should be eliminated entirely.
