Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge (ISUPK) is a non-profit organization based in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, United States. The group is part of the Hebrew Israelism movement,〔 〕 which regards American blacks as descendants of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.〔 〕 The Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled ISUPK an "extremist" and "black supremacist" group.〔 ISUPK has demonstrated many times at the corner of Seventh and H streets in Washington, D.C., since 2004,〔 〕 but residents complain that the group amplifies its open-air preaching to more than 90 decibels and that its message is offensive. Some homeowners say the group accuses white and gay people of destroying historically black neighborhoods, and at least one resident has complained of being called "cracker, slave owner, () white devil," but they reiterate that volume, rather than the group's speech content, is the problem.〔 〕 ISUPK and other groups' volume prompted Washington's municipal government to consider an ordinance to "resolve the issue."〔 〕 The measure would have limited the volume of daytime noncommercial speech to 70 decibels, but it died because of free-speech concerns.〔 〕 ISUPK's regional director, General Yahanna, defended the group, saying residents' real issue was not sound, but the group's message.〔 The group identifies its message as saving local residents' souls and discouraging people from drugs and crime; it regards its separatist teachings as the real objection residents have.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
