ACLU of Indiana Statement:

We are disappointed by the actions the Roncalli administration has taken toward a member of their staff.  Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is inconsistent with our American values of fairness and equality. 

No one should have to hide their family in order to serve their community. Our hearts go out to the Fitzgerald family during this difficult time.

ACLU of Indiana Statement:

We were deeply saddened by the news that Congregation Shaarey Tefilla, a Carmel, Indiana synagogue, was vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti over the weekend. The ACLU of Indiana will do everything we can to support Jewish community members and continue to promote an open, interreligious dialogue. An act of such hatred and defacement is appalling. No individual should be discriminated against, or made to feel intimidated, based on who they are or where they worship.
