ZD: agreed. Some parents of low functioning kids don’t mind sending to a public school with a separate class (frum kids only, hopefully no concern about crude language etc.) with Yiddish speaking teachers, and served Kosher meals — even if religion may not be taught — as long as they aren’t taught and sung songs about Xmas, etc. Some cultural Jewish stuff is probably allowed and done.
So that sort of arrangement, similar to what’s done in Williamsburg and maybe other places as well is something they object to in East Ramapo. And that’s one of the reasons they decided to elect a Jewish majority board that addressed the community’s concerns.
And now with a fiscal monitor — who let’s not kid ourselves, he knows why he was appointed and what’s expected of him — all accommodations are at risk.
