basically they complain about every tiny thing that could even be construed as vaguely Christian, no wonder American schools are vacuous culture free hell zones
Honestly, it makes complete sense now. This whole "they're getting God out of our schools" thing that boomers love to complain about is in large part perpetrated by the group they eulogize.
I realize this is a "well, duh" moment for most people here, but if you grow up around parents saying this stuff - people who have living memory of saying prayer in homeroom every morning - and realize that those same people in the same breath will mention the glories of postwar Jewish immigration, the "total irrationality" of the Nazis, the virtue of Israel, and Judeo-Christian values, all while the perfect angelic victims they defend are undermining the way of life they claim to care about so much... it blows my mind.
Aggressive secularization is blamed on "atheist activists" generally, but when I looked it up, two of the "Four Horsemen" of New Atheism are Jewish. Steven Pinker is Jewish. Engel v. Vitale is the decision that banned school prayer. Engel, the lead complainant, is Jewish. I'm just shaking my head.
