18 Hasidic Schools Failed to Provide Basic Education, New York City Finds
An eight-year investigation determined that the religious schools were breaking the law by not offering thousands of students adequate instruction in English and math.
Their failure to provide basic education is how they trap the next generation in the cult. Without a proper education, kids are trapped and it becomes extremely difficult to escape. It’s a feature, not a bug.
And this is why Ron DeSantis and other far right wingers try their damnedest to clamp down on education and books.
Bingo. When people lack education, they lack control over their own destiny. I’ve been saying for years that the GOP derides higher education because they want their voting base trapped and with as few options as possible. This is why they are opposed to quality public education. It’s as clear as day.
You aren't wrong here. I know a few ex-members and they really struggle.
I don't know why anyone would assume a far right authoritarian religion's schools would provide a decent education rather than just indoctrination...
Some of them only speak Yiddish. In New York City. How do they even get by?
Enablers mostly from what I see.
Have you been to New York? How do you get by without Yiddish?
The occasional Yiddish word or phrase maybe, many of these folks speak Yiddish only. No English. Sort of like the Amish never learning English, except the Amish don't live in a massive city where English would be really useful.
