This is truly educational for me. I've never heard of such a thing as a kosher phone. It just goes to show that fanatics/puritans/literalists in all faith groups are actually the same in their determination that everybody else should follow their narrow view of life and their equal determination to violently attempt to impose said view.

@Thomas52 Rabbinical authorities controls much of Israelis' life, and increasingly so, with the latest extreme right wing, religious-driven government.
When we hear of Sharia laws, we tend to have blinders on. Sharia comes in many flavors.
The DeSantis rhetoric (and similar views in the South), point in that direction. I'm old enough to remember how the emergence of the so-called "Moral Majority", took us in the wrong direction.

Bloody cowards!!
This is exactly how the Taliban militants took over Kashmiri villages….they used to hide behind street kids or use kids as shields when the Indian army fought them on the village streets….such cowards.
So I’ll not be surprised if that same extremist terror is behind this ruckus. Those men need to grow balls and stop destroying things…ughhh!

Lol…that too. But I’ve seen(attended) these kids debates at the state level, and national level. It’s a very healthy give and take of ideas and reforms at the grass-root level.
I wouldn’t compare that to a physical threat to a kid who is at the forefront of protests that might turn into riots.@Graylight

@Vivaci State-sanctioned antipathy ruled an otherwise evolving city and gay-friendly town here in Orlando. They created every impediment they could, even outlawing "safe zones" for youth in immediate trouble. And inevitably, Pulse happened. There is absolutely a correlation between toxic ideology and action.
Now we're invalidating some students' families, barring them from using terms because they're 'inappropriate' or 'undesirable.' We're telling them who they may be is wrong and should be hidden if not eradicated. We're saying "[i]you're [/i]fine...it's [i]these [/i]people we don't like." Say enough about the wrong topic and your salary can be pulled or you can lose a job or your organization the funding it needs. Imagine the caliber of the next attack.
Other groups work like this, true. Cosa Nostra, enforcers, scoolyard bullies. It's never been a good look.
