Let’s assume, for a moment, that religious discrimination is not your purpose as a journalist. With that as a basic assumption—an assumption which may or may not be rooted in fact—I imagine it won’t be too hard for... READ MORE

Yes, we all know your readership is tanking. But we did not expect you to stoop this low. READ MORE

As a graduate of Brown University and a Scientologist, I find your attempt at humor in the Daily Princetonian’s “Top 10 Ways to Rehabilitate a Charter” discriminatory, offensive and, quite frankly, pathetic. READ MORE

In a day and age where discrimination like the brand you practice is more than outmoded—it’s considered despicable, and loses people their jobs—it’s pretty sad to me that you’re willing to risk your career to put... READ MORE

This is the kind of sleazy programming your company shouldn’t be supporting. READ MORE

Remini has already admitted she is a) doing this for the cash and b) will say whatever it takes to smear the Church of Scientology. READ MORE

It’s 2019. We’ve grown as a society to the point where inciting hate and violence toward minority groups is not acceptable. The lies told on this show have led to violence, arson, death threats and even the murder of a... READ MORE

I am sure this is not the type of reputation you wish to have—that of a company which backs hate, bigotry and lies that end in bloodshed. READ MORE

Not that long ago, Jews would attempt to pass as gentile to protect their families. Fortunately, this is no longer the case in America (we hope). But bigotry grows a new head when the old one is cut off. You wouldn’t support... READ MORE

Her show has inspired desecration of our facilities, numerous threats of physical violence, and yes, harassment of our children in public schools. Of course it won’t be you who is bloodied if any of these threats come to... READ MORE

Leah Remini’s show on A&E has resulted in threats of violence against Scientologists around the world, including the actual murder of one young staff member. These people are my friends and family members. They are doctors,... READ MORE

Quoting Rick Ross about the Church of Scientology is tantamount to quoting Joseph Goebbels, of Nazi Holocaust infamy, delivering his opinion about the Jews and Judaism. It is that repugnant. READ MORE

The real problem appears to be that you bought into the lies publicized by Leah Remini whose sole intent is to defile a religion. She, with your support, is acting like the Nazis did in the late 1920s and 1930s against another... READ MORE

This whole sham reeks of A&E trying to save face after their sick little pet project’s ratings went down the tubes. First of all, the awarding committee included a co-producer of the Remini series. READ MORE

In the interests of common decency, not to mention to preserve any hope you might have of credibility, I urge you to remove this “fake award” from your planned broadcast of this ceremony. READ MORE

Remini has targeted Scientologists, Muslims and Jehovah’s Witnesses, and had it continued, who knows? Maybe Jews would be next. It’s not the target that is the critical point here, but the intent. READ MORE

It’s especially shocking that you want to present her Critics’ Choice award for the season of her television show that inspired a real-life murder. I guess that is an “impact,” but is it really deserving of an award? READ MORE

The perpetrators of these crimes cited Leah Remini personally as their source of inspiration. READ MORE

At a time when some in our society are a hair trigger away from violence, there are those of us who can and will act to do our part to reduce factors that may push someone into an act he or she would not otherwise commit. READ MORE

What was almost unheard of before now has become, tragically, all too commonplace. Violence and even murder now occur inside the very buildings that society should be committed to maintaining as protected peaceful sanctuaries... READ MORE

We know Leah Remini’s “Impact” award was determined by an executive committee composed of members of both the BTJA and NPAC. Eli Holzman, the Executive Producer of Leah Remini’s reality television series, sits on the... READ MORE

I see it is trendy to trash things one does not know or understand. The only right an elevated voice really has is to find out about new subjects, to look, search, become inquisitive about and possibly learn something new.... READ MORE

Notwithstanding the UK Supreme Court’s studied decision, Newsweek has stooped to locating a single, long-expelled former member to try to drum up “controversy” over a city council’s approval to start renovations of... READ MORE

Leave it to ABC to cite to notorious religious bigots and racists as their authority on how to attack people working diligently to help children and adults recover their ability to study through L. Ron Hubbard’s Study Technology... READ MORE

On Sept. 29, 1995 the Washington state jury found that Mr. Ross “intentionally and recklessly acted in a way that is so outrageous in character and so extreme in degree as to be beyond all possible bounds of decency and... READ MORE

Rick Ross is an anti-religious hater. He was found guilty of the attempted deprogramming of an 18-year-old Pentecostal man in an attempt to lure him away from his chosen faith. The jury awarded the man at trial over $2 million... READ MORE

There is enough callous, hateful communication spread by unintelligent people on subjects of which they know nothing, for you to add more to that pile. READ MORE

This is the first time in our history we have not heard from Disney’s leader at a time like this. Enough is enough. We are family. READ MORE

As community partners, many of our discussions and action items revolved around preventing violent extremism. In most cases, if not all, media played a big role in dehumanizing the other. READ MORE

The idea that Disney would sponsor programs that incite hatred against religions from my perspective is unconscionable. READ MORE
