<b>The way to fix the tution crisis is, CONVERT EVERY YESHIVA TO A PUBLIC SCHOOL!!
(in name and theory)
The non frum wouldn’t send there anyway as school ends so late, and has “weird students”.
If done this way, there would be no problem with seperation of Church and State. </b>
Um that won’t work. For one thing public schools have state mandated curriculum, and I think having a single sex public school is illegal.
However the major thing to keep in mind is that having the state pay for secular studies at all Jewish, Catholic and other religious private schools would add quite a bit to the state education budget (or maybe at a local level) which would require more taxes or cuts somewhere else to pay for it, I can’t imagine that being popular.
A solution needs to be found to the Yeshiva tuition issue, but it needs to not involve a large pile of money appearing by magic from the state government or other poorly defined sources*.
* IE We find some random rich guy to pay for it without mentioning who, or how he will be convinced.
