A police officer for the School District of Philadelphia was denied permission to offer Friday prayers. No explanation was given. Previously, this officer skipped his lunch break during the week and took two hours off on Friday afternoon to offer Friday prayers. However, after he returned to duty following a two-month leave he was denied permission for his practice.
A representative of the Council of American Islamic Relations inquired about the issue and was told by a school district attorney that the decision cannot be reviewed until next year.
