Comments on: What? No Mention Of 'Racism'? https://barelyablog.com/what-no-mention-of-racism-2/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Myron Pauli https://barelyablog.com/what-no-mention-of-racism-2/comment-page-1/#comment-14959 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 02:43:27 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=13581#comment-14959 Even if the kids are not recognized as Jews, they could still be educated (converts are allowed and expected to LEARN Torah – so it is NOT forbidden to give religious education to a non-Jew) – so it is an abitrary decision on the part of the religious schools but NOT religiously dictacted. My daughter could not be educated there nor could the last kid in her former class who just had a Bar Mitzvah (his mom was a convert and a Çonservative rabbi but not recognized as Orthodox). On the other hand, why does one need to impose values on the haredi? The best solution is to not have a government role in education. What is also interesting is that the Othodox have no problem taking money from those whom they consider non-Jewish.

Fortunately, it isn’t my business!

I do have some concerns in regard to the referenced article. “Education Ministry: Petah Tikva schools must accept Ethiopian kids.” In which Mr. Peres appears to incite 10th graders to march on the schools. For him to invite children to become “Social Activists” today leads to the possibility of the students later being encouraged to become “Youth protests” seen on college campuses and the G-8 conferences as well as rock throwing Palestine kids on the Israel borders. The school system has issued a statement that they (being the people in charge) would take care of the matter. For that matter, perhaps the private school may have a legitimate issue that needs to be resolved as well. Adult heads will resolve the issue, without 16 year olds marching around the school, singing, “We shall overcome.”
