I do remember the distance being a problem and it may have been a Jewish objection to a Christian school other than a secular thing like with one Frazier episode over Christmas.  That would void my criticism then because then it wouldn’t be the attack on Christianity that I thought initially.  


From the name alone I should have gleaned Goldberg =Jewish.  The difference is huge from say what I was initially thinking.  Now it’s more like a Auburn/Alabama type thing rather than my initial fear over it being a secular hatred of anything religious.  Glad you pointed that out.

 Actually that Christmas Frazier episode where Frasier’s girlfriend was Jewish, her mom comes visiting and they try to conceal anything Christmas from her (the mom) is one of the funniest and favorite of mine.  

I watched it again and she didn't object until he said it sounded "cold" and then she jumped in agreeing with him and said the school was "trash" and I didn't see any look of horror on her face. He did say too that maybe he should go. That's her character. They've had episodes where they were celebrating Jewish holidays and she...as is her nature...wanted them celebrated at her house. The daughter's bf is Jewish too and the families clash over where they will celebrate the holidays. BTW...this is a real family...but there are three boys instead of a girl. Eric got changed to Erica. Adam says Eric wasn't very happy about that but got over it. BTW...in the show he goes to a private school founded by the Quaker William Penn.

William Penn Charter School
 
"The Goldbergs" has frequently featured storylines at (barely) fictional William Penn Academy, which is based on William Penn Charter School, the Philadelphia private school that has operated continuously since 1689, and from which Goldberg graduated in 1994
