Reply To: Rechnitz Speech in Lakewood

Here’s a good test for the heilige mosdos and the elitists they defer to. Let the board of each school commit to only taking funds and resources from individuals who would meet their standard for admissions for their children. That way, the only pressure would be internal, and schools would reach an equilibrium based on their admissions policies and practices. Some would admit a broader spectrum of kids, and would be able to access broader resources. Some less, and if their policy is financially unsustainable, they will be able to draw the appropriate conclusions about their policy. There would be great honesty in such a committment.
