How can any Jew support the denial of another's religious beliefs? Open dialogue and acceptance of others is what's neccessary, not avoidance and denial.
Of course in the case of this article, it means no more using the TV as a babysitter. Use this as a teaching opportunity while looking towards examples like Adam Sandler and his many versions of the 'Chanukah Song'.

Important Update: The numbers in this study do not reflect the true risk to Ashkenazi Jewish women given the way the study was conducted. TRUE RISK is approx 2.5% or 1 in 40. This study focused on only those with NO family history. This study is very important in getting the gov't to fund ALL Ashkenazi women who want the test. It will save lives. They are looking for some additional funding.
