Reply To: School Board Monitors in Lakewood & East Ramapo

Joseph: While your idea of having the yeshivas change the starting and ending times are justifiable, the only ones that will be hurt are the yeshiva students if they are dropped off and there is no supervision. A better solution is that if the yeshivas swap student so that next school year all 26,000 students are mandated. Once Courtesy Busing is off the table the only thing the monitor can cut is Special Ed. and the monitor will have to convince a judge that their anti-semitic public school is a better place for a Jewish student to learn in then the student’s current school.

As far as the public school parent caring about their children losing courtesy busing, they are more interested in causing pain to Jews.

Charliehall: I agree with you the East Ramapo School district should be merged with other school district. This way they could have a school board which wouldn’t have a majority of Orthodox Jews and they wouldn’t be violating the Voters Right Act. The reason it wouldn’t happen is the surrounding districts think in a couple of years the Orthodox Jews will take over the board again. Likewise they think Public school students of East Ramapo will be bused to their district so that the Jews can buy the Public School buildings.
