Argentine govemment
modifies religion decree
NEW YORK—The protests of
the Jewish community and of
other religious groups in
Argentina have caused the
Argentine government to modify a
decree, issued a little over a year
ago, that mandated the teaching of
Catholic religious values and
attitudes in secondary schools,
according to Jacob Kovadloff,
director of the South American
office of the American Jewish
Committee and a native
Argentinian.
As a result of their combined
efforts, he said, the prescribed
course, called “Moral and Civic
Education,” has been revised to
elements” and to include some
hooks by noted Jewish
philosophers and political
scientists.
Another favorable develop
ment, Kovadloff reported,
was an Argentine government
decision to conduct dialogues with
representatives of all faiths and
political parties on subjects of
national interest. This dialogue
process, which will of course
include the Jewish community,
was announced by Interior
Minister General Albano
Harguindeguy only two weeks
ago, but already has been put
into action.

Ministry of Culture and
Education, which had established
the compulsory teaching of
“Moral and Civic Education” In all
public and private secondary
schools throughout the country.
“It was obvious from the course
program and reading list,” he said
“that this was an attempt to
inculcate Catholic precepts in all
Argentinian youth. It applied even
to private. Jewish schools.”
The new resolution, while still
requiring the course, refers to
“Judeo-Christian concepts” and
includes an extended biblio
graphy, among whose authors are

Redgrave calls on actors
to boycott work in Israel
Lsado* Jrrak Chroaidt
Actress Vanessa Redgrave, who
is strongly pro-Arab and anti-
Zionist, has called on her fellow
members of the actors’ union,
Equity, to boycott Israel.
She presented a motion for the
annual meeting of the association
calling for Equity members “to
refuse to work in the ‘State’ of
Israel” and also put a ban on the
sale to Israel of films, television
programs and videos involving

Stronger words were used by
dancer Joyce Blair who described
Ms. Redgrave as a “very boring
lady who ought to have a ban. on

A great deal of anger was caused
last August when Columbia
Broadcasting System cast Ms.
Redgrave in the role, of Fania
Fenelon, a Jewish musician, in a
three-hour television film about
life in Nazi concentration camps.
Mrs. Fenelon herself, among
others, expressed strong
misgivings that Ms. Redgrave
condemned the motion as being
“totally iniquitous.” Playwright
