Many high school students enjoyed free lunch given to them by a local rabbi and while they were eating they listened to a lecture from the rabbi.
Students at Great Neck North High School can hang out at fast food restaurants, go to the houses without supervision or do almost anything they want for lunch. But listening to a Torah lecture in an Orthodox Jewish synagogue should require parental consent, according to the school.

hm..
kid wants an abortion... no parental consent required.
kid wants to listen to a lecture by a rabbi... parental consent required.
crazy freaking world.
If the guy were Muslim it’d be no problem...count on it.
That’s between the parent and the student. The school should butt out. They have no right to even raise the issue. It’s none of their concern.
( I do not use the acronym because there are government school defenders who manage to search out pornography in the most innocent posts.)
If they are off the campus, the principal should butt out
What silly state bureaucrats. Its called free speech and freedom of association. Bit different when the students are herded into auditoriums and forced to hear the rants of some guest liberal speaker the bureaucrats deemed appropriate.
At least he didn’t baptize them.
Sounds like they are on some kind of Crusade.
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
And we all know that if it were an imam and he was promoting islam, there'd have been no objection raised at all.

That's right. It wasn't on school property or on school time. It was their lunch period.
Now watch the school decide that students aren't allowed to go off campus any more, like many schools do.
Incarceration indeed.
Obama bribes people with free food- why shouldn’t anyone else. NONE of the principal’s business - he needs to STHU.
Civil servant - boy. SIT.

Rabbi Avraham Kohan, completely mainstream Orthodox. Not even particularly charismatic. Associated with some of the most famous Jewish religious scholars of this generation.
Can be heard (and seen) at:

Or offer them a free bris.
Ah..but incarcerated prisoners have rights to prayer rugs in the facility-and GUARDS don`t forget guards. Which a school full of helpless children don`t deserve.
I have no problem with kids (mine or yours) being exposed to teachings from the Torah, the same lessons that were learned by Jesus in His youth. Scriptural interpretations by a liberal Rabbi would be another thing.
Sounds like an anti Semitic principal here.....oh wait its OK for libs to be anti Semitic....
