imagine Muslims in the US would want to be able to take those three days in the same way that Jewish kids take off Hanukah (if they do - I can't really recall whether Jewish kids took Jewish holidays off from school - too long ago!). Not for Chanukah but for Yom Kippur and Rosh A Shanan.....at least they did at my school. Of course, my jr. high and high school were half Jewish. Did the Jewish kids just stay home from school with their parent's permission, or did the school give them the "day off"? It's one thing for the parents to keep their kids out of school - Muslims can do that as well on Muslim holidays, if the think celebrating the Islamic holiday is more important than that day of education - and its another to have the school sanction it (ie, would probably necessitate teaching nothing really new that day).
