Delaware family - religion in schools

I'm sorry, I couldn't find the original thread about this story. If someone does, perhaps a mod can combine them.

Anyway, The NYT has picked up the story.

The family has had financial trouble because of the story, and the daughter has had to drop out of Columbia.

Later, another speaker turned to Mrs. Dobrich and said, according to several witnesses, “If you want people to stop calling him ‘Jew boy,’ you tell him to give his heart to Jesus.”
Immediately afterward, the Dobriches got threatening phone calls. Samantha had enrolled in Columbia, and Mrs. Dobrich decided to go to Wilmington temporarily.
But the controversy simmered, keeping Mrs. Dobrich and Alex away. The cost of renting an apartment in Wilmington led the Dobriches to sell their home here. Mrs. Dobrich’s husband, Marco, a school bus driver and transportation coordinator, makes about $30,000 a year and has stayed in town to care for Mrs. Dobrich’s ailing parents. Mr. Dobrich declined to comment. Samantha left Columbia because of the financial strain.

There is a Muslim family involve in this lawsuit as well.

What's so funny about peace, love and understanding.

I find it ironic that the first settlers came here because of religious persecution.

“We have a way of doing things here, and it’s not going to change to accommodate a very small minority,’’ said Kenneth R. Stevens, 41, a businessman sitting in the Georgetown Diner. “If they feel singled out, they should find another school or excuse themselves from those functions. It’s our way of life.”

That's good to know. With the shifting demographics in the US, I'm sure he'll feel good about changing his beliefs to accomodate the next majority religion.

Would whoever is good with names please post a link when he sues for having to pray to Mecca five times a day?

I wouldn't be so sure of it. These nimrods don't have a chance in court.

Christians have a right to live in a place with just other Christians.

Well, if they're Catholic, they are in luck.

Oh course they would be in Flori-DUH
