“something can be worked out so that frum students can attend public schools ”
I don’t understand why nobody has jumped on my suggestion that we just lobby the legislature for the tax increases needed to give real government support for private schools. Connecticut, Vermont, and Maine have been having the government pay for private schools from time immemorial. (One of the schools receiving support was founded in 1801!) The Supreme Court just ruled that if the government pays for non-religious private schools it has to pay for religious private schools by the same rules. (A few states such as Virginia strictly prohibit ANY government funding of ANY private schools.) And CT, VT, and ME require that a private school that accepts the tuition vouchers cannot charge students any tuition. This could work in NY as well, if we can just get over our allergy to supporting politicians who are willing to raise taxes.
