This again??!!
OK, one more time…
1. New York State has a Blaine Amendment in its constitution which prohibits state funding (barring a few excepted services) of schools where religion is taught or that is controlled by a religious institution.
2. Flooding the public schools will not change point number 1. Even if every Jewish parent showed up with their kids, they won’t go ahead and say “okay, go back to your yeshivas and we’ll pay for it” because it is prohibited by the state constitution. True, they probably couldn’t handle it on day one, but within a few weeks, they’d probably be able to absorb them.
3. The only way around the Blaine Amendment is to amend the state constitution. However, the process to amend the state constitution is over two years long. Are you going to leave your kids in public school for two years?
