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???

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.

The ADL is a liberal pro-statist organization with it's own agenda.

Some of these types are afraid that government involvement which appears to favor Christianity creates a "theocratic" environment where non-Christians would suffer discrimination or loss of self-esteem. A bit of a stretch, perhaps. Of course, the "establishment clause" only referred to preventing one Christian denomination from becoming the official "state church" (through an act of "congress") linked with dogma-specific loyalty oaths and citizenship, voting rights, etc., depending on membership in that one denomination. All the schools in the 1770s and 1780s had some type of religious orientation or instruction with Christianity, of course, forming that context.
