					THE WEEK'S BIG 3

					A new survey from ADL looking at the experiences of different communities found that LGBTQ+ respondents were more likely than any other group surveyed to experience online hate and harassment. With Pride month in full swing, extremists are making news by targeting LGBTQ+ events, groups and people, including in Idaho, California and Texas. The Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday against restrictions excluding religious schools from programs that allow public funding of private schools, further blurring the line between separation of church and state.

					Supreme Court Strikes Down Restrictions on Public Funding of Religious Schools

					“Carson v. Makin hinged on a Maine law that provided families in rural areas without local public schools with funding to attend private schools or nearby public schools, but excluded ‘sectarian’ schools. The court struck down this restriction in a 6-3 decision authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, with the court’s three liberals dissenting.” Jewish Insider:

					KEY ADL SOCIAL STATEMENTS

						It's inexcusable and dangerous to single out organizations in the Jewish community and claim they're working in concert to promote a sinister agenda. This is #antisemitism. We must #ScrapTheMap. Learn more about the BDS Boston-endorsed “Mapping Project”

						The #SCOTUS decision striking down a gun safety law in NY is deeply disturbing. Our research shows guns are violent extremists' weapon of choice, enabling horrific mass casualty attacks. Policymakers must be able to enact strong gun laws to protect our communities…

						Election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman are heroes on the front lines of our democracy - who never should have had to experience this vile, racist hatred. There must be accountability. #January6thHearings
