[edit] Jewish Label?

Its so offensive that every article about a Jewish person has to specifically state it. So-and-so WHO IS JEWISH... Honestly were not all that special, and unless the religion is a major part of the article, it does not need to be noted. I'm going to remove the reference from this article. We aren't all that special people... Jews are pretty normal people and do not require being pointed out by some anti-semite every second of the day. --24.3.147.203 23:15, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Actually, it's not just Jews. Many members of minority groups get a label attached to them; to invent a couple of examples: "John Smith was the first French explorer to reach the East Pole"-type thing. Or "Micheal Jones is a promenent African-American Lacrosse player, holding several world records". If they strongly identify with their nationality or religion or men's club, it's sometimes hard to avoid labeling. For instance, education references may show a Jewish semenary or Negro college (do they still use that name?) Please realize that there's another side of the coin: there are some people with these strong affliations that complain if you DON'T mention them. CFLeon 21:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Jews are hardly a minority group. GW_Simulations_{|User Page | Talk | Contribs | Chess | E-mail} 21:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I do not think that word means what you think it means. Kaleja 02:17, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I'm a little curious as to if she was the *first* Jewish astronaut. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.25.146 (talk) 23:26, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

It's fine to remove the Jewish label, but just saying she "attended Hebrew school" is even weirder, no? Does anyone know the name of her Hebrew school? ConDissenter (talk) 01:11, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another Judith Resnik

There is also a noted legal scholar named Judith Resnik; she is presently the Arthur Liman Professor of Law at Yale and used to teach at the University of Southern California. She warrants a page of her own, but I don't know how to set one up given that the astronaut Judith Resnik already has one.

Perhaps you can find someone who can make a disambiguation page to help you start the article. I'd help, but, like you, I dont know how. Sorry. --66.37.59.98 18:16, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Create an article at Juduth Resnik (scholar), and then I'll add a disambig to this page.

Perhaps this page should be renamed Judith Arlene Resnik and the Yale Law professor should be put at Judith Resnik because she does not appear to have a middle name (I checked her official faculty page and publications). Libertylaw 13:41, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Elementary School

T_T Okay, who wrote this article? They need to be beaned off the head. There is already an elementary school in Gaithersburg, Maryland named after her. It opened in 1992, current Principal is Dr. Roy Settles.

I SHOULD KNOW. I was in the FIRST kindergarten class as the school, I played on the construction area, I drove past it almost every day of my life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Towson (talk • contribs) 21:08, May 10, 2006
