You know the worth of an idea by who hates it.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) expressed disappointment with today's Supreme Court ruling permitting governments to continue to pay for private religious education, calling it "a step backwards for religious liberty." The League pledged to continue to oppose vouchers on policy and state constitutional grounds. What is the world do vouchers have to do with anti-defamation???

The teacher's unions are really scared on this one. Hmm.... that must mean the Supreme Court hit a good ruling on this one then.

The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.

Missing the connection here between their stated mission and the issue of vouchers.

Liberal argument for abortion- "If you don't like abortion, don't get one."
Conservative argument for vouchers- "If you don't like them, don't use them."

Unless of course they want to say mentioning Jesus to Jews is a hate crime.

The ADL says the effect of the U.S Supreme Court's ruling is "limited." Like all liberals they are in denial, delusional, or both. The truth of the matter is upholding vouchers, along with the 9th Circuit's incredibly moronic decision holding the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional, will accelerate public flight from the government schools. What's ironic is the ADL's greatly treasured public education system will start collapsing from within. You can't reform it after all. "Limited" ruling indeed. Within a decade or so the only people attending government schools will be the few who are unaware of the alternatives or those who preferred to be subjects of indoctrination by the Left. When all is said and done, the SCOTUS decision is less a vindication of vouchers than it is a death knell for the public education system the ADL has spent its entire existence trying to preserve in the face of reality.

The ADL better NOT be a non-profit!!!

A step in the right direction is what it is.
To: Always Right
You beat me to it. Whenever one of these so-called anti-defamation groups becomes nothing more than a "religious" arm of the ACLU, there's no reason to take them seriously anymore.
Foxman is nothing more than a leftist shmekel, as far as I'm concerned.
To: rmlew
It's not that they are "uber", it is that the level of fear they have is tremendous. Even if it is at the expense of common sense.

Its sad to see so many left wing organizations masquerading as legitimate organizations.
To: Frohickey
The ADL is non-profit and like many, many non-profits has strayed from its original and laudable objective to be a champion of all left wing causes if only to gain new funding which would otherwise not be forthcoming. Huge staff, highly paid CEOs, these self-perpetuating behemoths are patrons of the left and stealth 'off the books' front and center political hacks for the DNC.
A short list of others include the American Red Cross (of $1.2 billion raised on the back of the September 11 attack less than 30% has made its way to victims and their families), virtually all AFL-CIO unions; the various federal and state employee unions ... duh but why does a civil service employee need a union? And of course fifty or 100 major tax free foundations whose founders would not be spinning in their graves but totally vaporizing if they knew that their bequests were used to support the left..Rockefeller, Ford, Pew to name just three.

"Foxman is nothing more than a leftist shmekel, as far as I'm concerned." I'll Second that Opinion !

To: Alberta's Child
Groups like the ADL, in their fight against anti-semitism, always seek to increase and centralize govenment power, in short, they push for socialism. Their hope is that an all powerful government will protect them.
Ironically, what they are working for is to create the very conditions that have made anti-semitism such a disease in Europe, and to destroy the American traditions based on the sanctity of the individual that have kept it from reaching full flower here. Their all powerful government will have them and everyone else at its mercy.

The ADL is just mad because they're becoming irrelavant. Screw 'em.
