"I" am not the "federal government". Liberals have difficulty understanding this concept. Do you have no sense of personal identity? North Korea sounds like a great place to live for people like you.

Separation of Church and State, the Jewish banner in America? In the racist Nation of Israel, which Americans have subsidized with hundreds of billions of dollars, Judaism is a mandatory part of ALL school's curriculum] Court halts change in method of teaching Judaism in secular schools, By ABIGAIL RADOSZKOWICZ AND DAN IZENBERG, gsnonweb.com (from Jerusalem Post), September 8, 2003 "The High Court of Justice on Sunday granted a show-cause order instructing the Education Ministry to explain why it has changed the system of teaching Judaism in non-religious schools. The new system no longer allows non-governmental organizations to teach these classes. The court heard two petitions filed by a coalition of secular and pluralistic religious groups headed by Panim for Jewish Renaissance in Israel. One petition asked that the court stop the ministry's plan to end these non-governmental groups' activities designed to strengthen secular children's Jewish identity and knowledge as mandated by the Shenhar Commission. The other called for the ministry to change the criterion for distributing funds for education to strengthen Jewish identity. The court gave the groups two weeks to correct the second petition, and called for a resumption of the hearings in October. Until now, the state has allowed non-governmental organizations, including Panim, Melitz, Meitar, the Shechter Institute, the Movement for Progressive Judaism, and the Conservative Movement, to teach programs on Judaism in secular schools. From now on, the teaching is to be done by regular teachers. The Education Ministry has argued that it has the right to change the method in which it provides Jewish education in secular schools. During Sunday's hearing, the state maintained that it is actually increasing funding for Jewish education in secular schools under to the new system. It also argued that it had asked the universities and teaching colleges to prepare their students to teach Jewish subjects."
