Jewish Family forced to move away from Christian school district
“A large Delaware school district promoted Christianity so aggressively that a Jewish family felt it necessary to move to Wilmington, two hours away, because they feared retaliation for filing a lawsuit. The religion (if any) of a second family in the lawsuit is not known, because they’re suing as Jane and John Doe; they also fear retaliation. Both families are asking relief from ‘state-sponsored religion.’
The behavior of the Indian River School District board suggests the families’ fears are hardly groundless.
[. . .] Classmates accused Alex Dobrich of ‘killing Christ’ and he became fearful about wearing his yarmulke, the complaint recounts. He took it off whenever he saw a police officer, fearing that the officer might see it and pull over his mother’s car. When the family went grocery shopping, the complaint says, ‘Alexander would remove the pin holding his yarmulke on his head for fear that someone would grab it and rip out some of his hair.’”
