Rosh Yeshivas Kol Yaakov HaGaon HaRav Yaakov Adas Shlita directed comments he made in yeshiva to Education Minister Naftali Bennett. He called on Bennett to refrain from budding into chareidi education affairs, stating rhetorically “Who are you to teach us about education”.
The rav called on the tzibur to contact Bennett with the same message, adding dozens of cheiders have already decided not to except ministry plan that includes instructing schools what will be taught.
“I suggest leaving it along and concentrate on the dati leumi education which is in need a big tikun since it has long ago gone bankrupt”. He concluded by reminding the tzibur “We will not take a single step from that our fathers accepted”, attacking the government, calling it “kofrim B’Torah”.

The Rosh Yeshiva of Kol Yaakov is HaRav Yehuda Ades
I suppose whilst he’s staying away, he won’t be able to send checks.
Bennett should take care of the violence in public schools and leave chareidi schools for our gedolim. B”H more gedolei yisrael are following the footsteps of Rav Weiss and Rav Auerbach shlit”a.
By the way, Bennett’s pepsi-cola-kipa sticks to the back of his head with a magnetic clip that grips to the nickel in his brain; a new clip for the hairless.

Your first paragraph makes sense the rest is shtus and shows sinah to another Jews. Your comments are a chilul Hashem for the reputation of Charedi Jews.
#4 The comments shows the truth about little kipa guy living with a non-religious wife, making a big chillul Hashem.
What a government funds, the government intends to control. The American phrase is “He who pays the fiddlers, calls the tune.” If a frum school doesn’t want to have the secular Jews calling the tune, they need reject funding from the zionists. The real Chareidim, who follow the Satmar/Eidis Hareidis example do not have this problem, since they reject government funding.
