Zounds! Look who is against public school prayer in a key 1963 court case! Hint: not Christians. Who'da thunk that? Top bunch of names = "for," second bunch of names = "against."
Just look at all the Jewish names after "Briefs of amici curiae, urging affirmance in No. 142 and reversal in No. 119" -- it reads like a guest list at a bar mitzvah in the Hamptons. But don't you say that, 'cause that's 'hate.' No. 119, from year 1905, required reading passages from the Bible in public schools.

Wow, this tells everything about the ambiguity of Judeochristianity.
Dr. Solomon Grayzel testified that there were marked differences between the Jewish Holy Scriptures and the Christian Holy Bible, the most obvious of which was the absence of the New Testament in the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Dr. Grayzel testified that portions of the New Testament were offensive to Jewish tradition and that, from the standpoint of Jewish faith, the concept of Jesus Christ as the Son of God was 'practically blasphemous.'
... But if portions of the New Testament were read without explanation, they could be, and in his specific experience with children Dr. Grayzel observed, had been, psychologically harmful to the child and had caused a divisive force within the social media of the school.

Your certainly right. Let's look at that list:
Briefs of amici curiae, urging affirmance in No. 142 and reversal in No. 119, were filed by Morris B. Abram, Edwin J. Lukas, Burnett Roth, Arnold Forster, Paul Hartman, Theodore Leskes and Sol Rabkin for the American Jewish Committee et al.; by Leo Pfefjer, Lewis H. Weinstein, Albert Wald, Shad Polier, Samuel Lawrence Brennglass and Theodore R. Mann for the Synagogue Council of America et al.; and by Herbert A. Wolff, Leo Rosen, Morris L. Ernst and Nancy F. Wechsler for the American Ethical Union.
Of course the general kneejerk support for Jewish organizations for anti-religious measures is old hat.
You'd think people like Linder and his VNN group of cross-baiters would be more grateful. :dry:
