New York is threatening yeshivas to provide public “substantial equivalency” education — as crises of declining academic standards, grade inflation, truancy, and corporal punishment plague city public schools.
The New York Times published a report in late September targeting Hasidic Yeshivas — alleging students “[know] nothing” and grow up “barely [able] to support their own families” — coinciding with a Board of Regents vote to regulate their religious education. However, Breitbart News has learned that the Times omitted relevant information, shunned sources directly involved with the schools, and declined to publish pertinent on-the-record statements, in pursuing the story — resulting in a funhouse mirror hit piece, pressuring the board’s unanimous vote to force state edicts on the religious schools.
A woman has been charged with a hate crime for allegedly starting a fire outside of a yeshiva in Brooklyn on October 14.
Authorities are searching for a man accused of spitting on a woman outside a New York City yeshiva in an alleged antisemitic act that took place on December 24.
