“yeshivas would then be required to open their books to the public , and for the first time, give a line by line accounting of their spending.”

I don’t see the problem with that.

” In addition, their budgets would also have to be public and subject to approval by voters in the district”

Of course! Massive tax increases would be required, and in most of NY State that requires a referendum. (The largest cities are exceptions.) And the school boards are also elected by voters (New York City and Yonkers are exceptions.)

Now that the Supreme Court has overturned most of the Blaine Amendments (a few are still in effect, such as in Virginia), we CAN get tuition relief from the government. But we need to vote for politicians who will support the large tax increases required. That usually does not mean Republicans.
