“You deserve to be flamed. This was not attending a religious ceremony.”
The Torah forbids entry to the sanctuary of a non-Jewish religion, even if ceremonies are not to be performed.
The Law is the Law; I didn’t write it. If the Law offends you, take in up with the Author.

The Torah is the Torah.
Take up your complaints with the Author.

The Best man at my Wedding held in an American Baptist Church was Orthodox Jewish.

You didn’t answer the question about American aid to Israel. Are Christian tax dollars too filthy for Orthodox Jews to accept? I didn’t think so.

The Torah forbids entry to the sanctuary of a non-Jewish religion, even if ceremonies are not to be performed. Chapter and verse, please?

Those offended could refuse to participate, and just give their diplomas back, eh?

Its unimaginable to me that anyone would be so offended by the venue of a HS graduation that they would take it all the way to the supreme court. IMO they were not offended, this suit was the result of hatred of Christianity.

Backing up a step, with much of the curriculum being taught in today’s public screwels, one may have a good argument that such in and of itself is in violation of the establishment clause.

I am sure he was a very good friend, and that is why he decided to violate the Law.

You didnt answer the question about American aid to Israel. Are Christian tax dollars too filthy for Orthodox Jews to accept? I didnt think so. Accepting funding from the gentiles is acceptable.
Isaiah 60
10 Foreigners will rebuild your walls,
and their kings will serve you.
Though in anger I struck you,
in favor I will show you compassion.
11 Your gates will always stand open,
they will never be shut, day or night,
so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations
their kings led in triumphal procession.
12 For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish;
it will be utterly ruined.

“His Father the local Rabi was at the Cake & Punch celebration afterwords, in the church basement.”
This sounds right; non-sanctuary parts of a Church are not prohibited.
This same issue comes up with voting, actually.
