New Mayor, Whoever He Is, Will Most Likely Be Friendlier to Religious Groups
After 12 years of a mayor who has resisted making concessions to religious groups, New York City is in for a change.
The two leading candidates for mayor — Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, and Joseph J. Lhota, a Republican — have pledged
to break with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on a range of issues at the nexus of government and religion. They say they
would accommodate two of the most important Muslim holy days, allow church services on school property, and work
with Jewish leaders to ease the city’s supervision of circumcision rituals.
Mr. Bloomberg is well known for his experiments in remaking daily life in New York: bike lanes, smoking bans and
restaurant report cards. But he is less recognized for another hallmark of his mayoralty: his strictly separationist approach
to matters of church and state.
不管事共和黨或民主黨
誰當市長都要面對宗教團體的壓力
猶太教要求停止對去包皮一事的規範
回教要求將回教節慶放入學校行事曆
天主教要求開方學校體育館做儀式, 等
(猶太教的過年是可以放假,以往幾任市長是猶太人, 或
朱里安尼當市長也是得到猶太人的支持, 美國有些家長
要求學校不可教學生宗教議題.)
哪麼佛教的節慶是否要求也放入行事曆呢?
中國過年是否也放入呢?
印度教的節慶是否也放入?
喇嘛教是否也放入?
.....
我是愛說笑啦!
