Jews, Hindus: Treat religions equally in schoolbooks


Jews, Hindus: Treat religions equally in schoolbooks:

"JEWS AND Hindus have urged the Texas State Board of Education to treat all the major religions and denominations evenly in its Social Studies curriculum, which is currently under revision.

Rabbi Jonathan B. Freirich, a Jewish leader in Nevada and California and Rajan Zed, a Hindu statesman, in a joint statement in Nevada on Thursday (September 3), said that pening up the Texas schoolchildren to major world religions, native american spirituality and non-believers’ viewpoint would make them well-nurtured, well-balanced, and enlightened citizens of tomorrow."
