Maxwell -You keep contradicting yourself- First- “BTW, it is true that there is a heter to study secular subjects, only to the extent it is needed for parnassa.” This is obviously post high school, because high school students aren’t learning for parnassah. Then you say – “The prohibition to learn in Colleges”, it’s ossur to go to college, so where is this heter you’re talking about? Maybe you’re talking about learning cow biology, but what kind of parnassa would need that, a butcher? If you want to rant against something fine, but at least make sense. Many, many gedolim mattered secular studies in elementary & high school and quite a few mattered going to college. If you don’t want to go fine, but don’t make it out that there is no other shitta besides the ones you brought down!
BTW, In Lakewood this no high school english business only started when R. Burstyn wanted to open up a school. He went to his father-in-law (R. Nosson zt”l) and he said to do it without english. R. Ahron zt”l -all his talmidim who opened up yeshivos including high schools- all had English. None of them would have secular studies if it was against R. Ahron’s shitta.
