"Stop the ACLU Coalition" director and Tub of Lard, Nedd Kareiva, is "pleased" with their harassment (his cell # 773.309.4463)

A Jewish family was forced to leave their Delaware home after complaining about rampant proselytizing in their child's Indian River School District:

[From Jews on First] 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...

On the evening in August 2004 when the board was to announce its new policy, hundreds of people turned out for the meeting. The Dobrich family and Jane Doe felt intimidated and asked a state trooper to escort them.

The complaint recounts a raucous crowd that applauded the board's opening prayer and then, when sixth-grader Alexander Dobrich stood up to read a statement, yelled at him "take your yarmulke off!" His statement, read by Samantha, confided "I feel bad when kids in my class call me Jew boy."

...A former board member suggested that Mona Dobrich might "disappear" like Madalyn Murray O'Hair, the atheist whose Supreme Court case resulted in ending organized school prayer. She disappeared in 1995 and her dismembered body was found six years later.

The crowd booed an ACLU speaker and told her to "go back up north."

In the days after the meeting the community poured venom on the Dobriches. Callers to the local radio station said the family they should convert or leave the area. Someone called them and said the Ku Klux Klan was nearby.

To make matters worse, a creepy group called the "Stop the ACLU Coalition" publicised the Jewish family’s address and telephone phone number and stigmatized them as "ACLU plaintiffs" in order to ensure further harassment of the family. In response, Jesus General sent the head of the Stop the ACLU Coalition, Nedd Kareiva (cell # 773.309.4463), this hilarious letter.

UPDATE: The Stop the ACLU website has posted a very un-Jesusy response to all the attention they're suddenly getting. Here's a highlight:

To all you liberals who are reading this web page as a result of a link from Salon, the Daily Kos or one of your other obnoxious blogs, be advised that there have been some minor corrections made to this page, not as a direct result of your e-mails but because I believe it was the right thing to do. However, there will be no more changes.

Yet let me say that this individual below [The Dobrich Family] is not the sole target here. It's just that I have not had time to update this page. But now I will. And I assure you of this - the more e-mails you send, the faster I will get more individuals and groups posted. And believe me, I have a lot of them.

So if you think you're angry at me now, just wait until we post more cases. We love making you mad and will do all we can to see you become unglued.

Evidently, it's okay for the good Christians at Stop the ACLU to seek revenge and call people obnoxious. Turning the other cheek is for pussies like Jesus.
