SIGN THE PETITION
On March 21st 2018, California House Representative Tom McClintock commemorated "Education and Sharing Day U.S.A" with a short speech in congress in which he states that the Noahide Laws are the "ethical values that have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization". This is a sitting congressman two years ago... many of these people signing on to these bills and making commemoration speeches know what they are doing, it is their responsibility to ask what exactly are these Noahide Laws before making such bold statements, would any candidate make these statements about Noahide Law without knowing what they meant? President George H. W. Bush stated six of the seven laws out, including the prohibition against blasphemy, in his Proclamation 5957 in 1989 (here). We need to hold Congress and the President accountable for these statements.
DIRECT QUOTE
"The Rebbe taught that education should not be limited to the acquisition of knowledge and preparation for a career; but should incorporate the building of character, with emphasis on moral and ethical values that have been the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as the Seven Noahide Laws."

OBSERVING EDUCATION AND
SHARING DAY U.S.A. 2018
HON. TOM McCLINTOCK
OF CALIFORNIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, March 21, 2018
Mr. MCCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, on March
27th, the United States will celebrate ‘‘Education
and Sharing Day U.S.A.’’ to recognize
the importance of excellence in education.
Established in 1978 by a joint Congressional
resolution, Education Day U.S.A. focuses on
the very foundation of meaningful education:
instructing our youth in the ways of morality
and ethics, and teaching them an appreciation
for divine inviolable values. These educational
principles are vital to the success of our nation
as they prepare our students for the responsibilities
and opportunities of the future.
Education and Sharing Day U.S.A. is celebrated
on the birthday of the Lubavitcher
Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson,
who dedicated his life to the betterment of
mankind. The Rebbe was a tireless advocate
for youth around the world, emphasizing the
importance of education and good character,
and instilling hope for a brighter future into
countless people in America and across the
globe.
The Rebbe taught that education should not
be limited to the acquisition of knowledge and
preparation for a career; but should incorporate
the building of character, with emphasis
on moral and ethical values that have been
the bedrock of society from the dawn of civilization,
when they were known as the Seven
Noahide Laws.
Education and Sharing Day U.S.A. is a recognition
of the importance of well-rounded
education, and the contributions of the Rebbe.
I am proud to observe Education and Sharing
Day U.S.A. 2018.
