Is Young Advocates for Fair Education a communist front group?

[neverevergiveup]

“In recent years, certain advocacy groups have criticized private Jewish schools, generally known as yeshivoth, claiming that the schools provide a substandard education.”

Of course. This is why Jews achieve so little academically..
This is really nuts.

[Harpotoo]

I went to yeshiva from 2nd - 5th grade and then when to public schools there after. Going to yeshiva harmed me as it wan’t until 9th grade that the public schools caught up with my 5th grade yeshiva fed education.

There appears to be no outrage too severe that it will not be ignored by the New York Jewish community, who continue to support the Jew-hating Democrats in highly disproportionate numbers. You would think by now that basic survival instinct would have woken that community to the genuine threat they are under from the left, but the vast majority still appear to be slumbering.

substantially equivalent

Maybe the equivalencies between private and public education should include the graduation and drop out rates? Maybe even the juvenile criminal recidivism rate?

[Rebelbase]

How difficult would it be to compare standardized testing between private and public schools?

RE: Is Young Advocates for Fair Education a communist front group?

We should always be doubly cautious when a group uses the word “Fair” for their name. It is often code for forced confiscation or coerced compliance.

My immediate response might be, who cares - the Jews are all liberal Democrats and perhaps it’s good that they confront their own elected officials they voted for. But then I am reminded of the old saying, First they came for the Jews...and I feel I must defend this injustice.

Bingo! That’s all that would be needed. Just look at the results. No new regulations. But that will never happen. Because a state/yeshiva comparison would embarrass the state HUGELY.

Ha! Those parents who send their kids to yeshivot vs. public schools are generally the Orthodox parents, who are conservatives. Very few of them have liberal views. They do not vote for libtard candidates if more conservative candidates are on the ballot.

[Mr. Lucky]

So, does New York figure that Yoder v. Wisconsin doesn't apply in the Empire State?

[oldplayer]

Will this apply to islam schools?

[CodeToad]

Mandatory education is slavery.

The article is written from the point of view of Jewish concerns, but it affects Catholics as well.

It effects all competition to the failed public schools.

[jjotto]

Religious Jews are used to sending their children away for education. Catholics are too used to Catholic schools, which are slipping away from them.

Don’t confuse the mostly liberal Jews with this group that are teaching their children the Torah and the Talmud.

‘Bout time New York State really zeroed in on Jewish academic underachievement.

[xkaydet65]

I taught with a great many NYC teachers who taught secular subjects in Yeshivas for extra money. Many of them said the emphasis on secular ed was fine, but some of the same teachers also taught in Yeshivas where the education particularly in math and science was abysmal. The trustees and rabbis pointed to having quality NYC teachers but the time allowed and materials provided insured the students learned very little.
