Statement from Comptroller Lander on Board of Regents Vote on Academic Standards at Private Schools Receiving Public Funds
New York, NY – New York City Comptroller Brad Lander issued the following statement on today’s New York State Board of Regents vote to establish new regulations for holding private and parochial schools to substantially equivalent academic standards. The vote comes on the heels of The New York Times story outlining a lack of oversight of private Hasidic Jewish schools that fail to provide a basic secular education.“Every single New York City child is owed a solid education that prepares them to thrive – yet as The New York Times report this week made starkly clear, too many yeshivas are failing that essential task. That so many young people have been denied the necessary skills they need to succeed in the higher educational opportunities, jobs, and diverse cultural and civic life of our city is a tragedy. That some of them may have been subjected to physical abuse is a shande.“It is entirely possible for yeshivas to offer enriching English, math, and science education at the same time as a strong grounding in religious texts and Jewish tradition – indeed, many do. I know it personally, because many of my friends and colleagues are smart, well-educated yeshiva graduates.“It’s also true that too many of our public schools fail to provide the enriching education that every one of our students deserve. The answer, of course, is to do all we can to demand accountability from all our schools – not to use the shortcomings of some to excuse those of others.“Like all other private and public schools in New York State, yeshivas receive public funding to help meet the needs of and their obligations to their students. The government has an oversight responsibility to ensure those public dollars are spent as intended. Unfortunately, in recent years both the City and State have failed to hold yeshivas to appropriate educational standards. It is time for that to change. “Today, the Board of Regents adopted regulations clarifying the City’s oversight responsibilities to ensure that private and parochial schools offer a substantially equivalent basic education. As Comptroller, I’ll work to make sure we meet them.”

Lander's statement would be more credible if coming from someone else. He is extreme Woke. I don't believe he really means he wants yeshivos to be matzliach.
A chaver of mine who is a yodeya sefer recently complained to the Yated about a horrific interview series they did of a couple who do "kiruv" on not just Marranos, but of any nudniks out there like entire tribes of primitive tunkelach numbering in the millions who make implausible claims that they shtam from Yidden. There was zero response from Pinny Lipschutz. He just quietly would not publish the letter or issue any correction. Our major poskim didn't just asser kiruv of the 100% imposters, but also of Marranos because of cheshash mamzerus.The couple are a seeming ausvarf who once learned in Telz & MTJ before becoming Modern Orthodox who is married to a Marrano woman. They used the Yated to promote a few organizatzias they help run: 1. Stevie Riskin's Open Orthodox women-ordaining group. Modern Orthodox Shavei Israel who share the same rabbi hero with the Open Orthodox because he holds of Reform-style patrilineal decent, specifically writing that kids of a Yid mit a shiksa are "zera koidesh" !!!!! And most prominently the Kulanu bunch, whose baalabusta founded the Reformer Heschel School. Other Kulanu officers are women "rabbis" + a Chicago Ghetto Black Hebrew "rabbi" first cousin of Michelle Obama. Ha!! Kulanu's executive Coordinator is the Marrano woman being interviewed.The biggest "yesoid" being given over by the ex-Telzer is that Marrano Shmadniks living outward as Noitzrim are to be very admired. This is zicher not the shita of the 1500s beis din of gedolim who posken they are chayvei krisus!!!

The reporter at the Yated who conducted the interviews shilling for fake gerus used to work at Hamodia that was always a champion in that arena. What do you expect from that sick newspaper? Hamodia's owners, the Gerrorist Lichtensteins, disowned their own daughter because she spoke out that they cover up for molesters - including the animal who molested her!
Mishpacha Mag agav has the same meshugass to cheerlead fake gerus.
The Marrano thing in any case shtims with another Yated agenda via Philly - to cover up that old Sam Kaminetsky glosses over mamzerim for the right price $$!
"because many of my friends"
I hope this isn't along the lines of anteh-Semitten who say "some of my best friends are Jews"

For the right price rest assured that Hershel Schechter can also be of a$$i$tance to that dynamic Marrano duo.
I'm actually surprised we haven't seen a piece by Rabbi Avi Shafran insisting that yeshiva graduate are actually the best performers on tests and that there is absolutely no physical abuse in the yeshiva system.

This shameless uberFRESSER will be writing some ridiculous nonsense...wait for it!
Why have the Agudah Fressers been mostly using Rabbi Sruly Reisman as their public point man with NYS Education Dept and the secular media?
The Xtians respect Reisman for his extensive knowledge of the Prophets, which he quotes often in meetings!
