Zdad: this is not the issue here. The issue that almost nobody here seems to find offensive is that the city is targeting us. We need more backbone, we need to fight back.
The first knee-jerk response by a mod to the OP was an assumption that the city is right. Whatever happened to sticking up for our own?
Our collective self esteem has been negatively effected by some recent blows. Time to dust ourselves off and stand up for our Torah with no shame!
