[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not concerned that the Hebrew school will teach religion or that it will proselitize.  I'm concerned that it is using a language only attractive to a small religious minority as a pretense for a public charter school.

I don't doubt that the proposal for the Hebrew school is constitutionally sound; that doesn't mean it meets an educational need in DC.[/quote]

It is against Jewish religious law to proselytize. You should learn something about Judaism before you fear it.[/quote]

Wait, the only way you can become jewish, and feel secure that you're [b]one of God's chosen people[/b], is to be born into it, right?  And that's a good thing?

(Sorry, but your comment is so darn off-the mark, and enough of you are out there trashing other religions anyway, that you asked for this.)[/quote]

Errr...  Don't a huge majority of religious people believe that belonging to their religion makes them "God's Chosen People"?   After all, if someone else's religion is "God's Chosen People" to your way thinking, wouldn't you convert?  How are Jews somehow offensive by this belief?  Traditional Mormonism hold that babies who die before they're baptized (at around age 5) can't go to Heaven.

There's nothing really offensive about this belief.  It's not like the Jews go out and bomb infidels.

I'm a little scared of the anti-semitism in any suggestions otherwise.  Guess what?  You can convert to Judaism!  Just ask Sammy Davis Jr.!
