Jewish leaders in the U.K. have stated that they will oppose educational authorities and not allow their schools to teach about homosexual and other “lifestyles” that are “prohibited by the Torah.”
Chinuch U.K., an organization that represents Britain’s main strictly Orthodox Jewish communities, has “issued a defiant challenge to the government by insisting their schools cannot discuss LGBT-related issues with pupils,” according to The Jewish Chronicle.
The statement was reportedly prompted by recent visits to Jewish schools by government inspectors, who made it clear that primary schools have to teach children about LGBT “equality.”
In 2018, Rabbi Mordechai Rose, who is affiliated with Chinuch U.K., wrote an articleexplaining his concern that Orthodox Jewish schools would be closed down after having their status downgraded by government inspectors from “outstanding” to “inadequate” because “they did not prepare the students for life in secular modern Britain but for life in the Orthodox Jewish community.” Earlier in 2018, almost 7,000 Orthodox Jews had gathered in communalprayer in opposition to attempts by educational authorities to make them teach values contrary to the Torah in their schools.
The statement released by the Jewish group last week says schools should “not describe to pupils lifestyles prohibited by the Torah” and should “ensure that inspectors do not speak to pupils about these matters at all.”
It says schools, when asked by inspectors, should “state clearly and respectfully that they do not cover these subjects.”

YMMV, maybe you never ran across that sort of thing. I'm pretty sure you can still find Biden thanking a Jews at some sort of annual gathering for being responsible for queers being able to legally marry one another. If not, fine, doesn't bother me a bit whether anyone agrees with me or not.
Don't bet on it. Quite a number of Reform "jews" are not even jewish according to Jewish law. Reform "jews" declared, in direct violation of the Torah, that patrilineal descent from a Jewish male was also satisfactory to determine who is a Jew. The Torah specifies that only those directly descended from a Jewish woman are actually Jews. That means you have to have a Jewish mother, a maternal Jewish grandmother, etc. to be an actual Jew. Therefore, a lot of Reform "jews" taking it upon themselves to "remodel" Jewish law aren't even Jews!
There are most definitely Jews on the Left - a disproportionate number, which ticks me off to no end - but there are similarly priests and ministers there, also - starting with the Pope.
What I don’t understand is why you don’t celebrate those men of (whichever) cloth who actually DO support and teach traditional values? Why tag these guys with their jackass Leftist colleagues, and distract from the stand that they are taking?
Bad form, as they used to say.
I believe it is because if one attacked a Reform "jew", their intent is to actually attack a Jew. The fact that the one they picked isn't actually a Jew makes no difference. It's like firing bullets into a picture of a Jew when you thought there was an actual Jew standing there. You meant to kill a Jew. It is also true that if the Reform "jew" had a Jewish mother or maternal Jewish grandmother, they are actually a Jew and it is to be fervently hoped that they will find their way back to a Torah-true lifestyle and take up Judaism the way it was meant to be observed. Therefore, they are defended.
Due to personal experience I don't think the perversion among priests is any more common than among non-Catholic pastors but it's way more common among Bishops than among priests.
Cardinal Burke is a Saint whether the now smoke filled Church ever proclaims he's one or not. Cardinal Robert Sarah, and Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò are probably in the same level although I haven't read as much about them. That's my praise for those who teach traditional values for the day.
Oh, by the by, I'm Catholic currently without benefit of clergy.
Saying anything positive about anyone or any doctrine that's Catholic here on FR is just asking for BS. So praise where someone may benefit, elsewhere let the sleeping dogs lie and they'll either wake up before it's too late or not.
It's funny seeing who is rabidly defended and who is ignored. Fun to watch.
Oh come one, we're talking about calling people out for advocating and working to make happen an end to Christian morality, not smacking someone in the head with a brick or anything like it.
I won't stand and agree with a good friend who is off on a tangent that's destructive of the moral good just because they're my relative but it's Ok for people to accept and defend destructive efforts of others because someone, somewhere, may want to hit someone of like background and heritage with a brick one of these days?
I understand what you're saying but that's pretty much granting the people working to destroy the social fabric of this country a permanent,"din do nuffin" card.
Your view of that guy makes my point, in spades - that people like him of ANY religion should be distinguished from those who adhere to and teach traditional values. People like that guy are, regrettably, present in large numbers and often in power in every religion. We should celebrate and support those who resist the temptation (because of popularity or power) to be that way, and stick to the correct set of beliefs.
