Religious Harassment Case Settled

By Ed Brayton

Remember the situation in Indian River, Delaware, where a Jewish family were the victims of multiple instances of intimidation in the schools? That case has now been settled. The facts were truly stunning. When the family went to the school board to ask that their children stop being harassed over being Jewish, one community member stood up and said of their 11 year old son, "If you want people to stop calling him 'Jew boy,' you tell him to give his heart to Jesus."

Jews on First has a report on the case and the settlement, the text of which can be found here. You may recall that after the suit was filed, Nedd Kareiva of STACLU posted the home address and phone number of the Jewish family and urged people to attack them, showing exactly what kind of asshole he is (just like our old pal DaveScot urged for the Dover plaintiffs, showing what an asshole he is too).
