popa,
I don’t watch television so I have no idea what people say on the talk shows. I judge based on public statements by elected officials.
I’m a left wing academic and publicly supported the blockade. And so does the Obama administration.
Health,
Courts protect the right of parents (plural) to give their children a Jewish education. They just don’t give us the right to force someone else to pay for it. There is no right to force your employer to let you off on Shabat (although New York State law offers some protection).
