Didn’t the same source promote women only hours for moslems a couple of years ago? I guess that was different. These are Jews.

To those posting on the thread, from the original New York Times editorial Everybody Into the Pool

Sex-segregated hours have been the rule at the pool since “sometime during the 90s,” according to a spokesman for the parks department. The policy was instituted at the request of Orthodox women, apparently without any serious community objections.

But a recent anonymous complaint led the city’s Commission on Human Rights to notify the parks department that the policy violated the law. Then a new pool schedule was issued, with the women’s hours removed. That alarmed female swimmers, who alerted politicians, including the local assemblyman, Dov Hikind.

Leaving aside the fact that Dov Hikind, Jews all look alike, isn't their assemblyman, this has apparently been the policy for several decades with no complaints, depriving the Times of a reason to complain.

It does appear to be against city ordinances, also longstanding. Seems to me the solution would be to change the ordinance.
