for the previous poster asking for proof. it would be horrifying for you if you bought a house there and were trying to send your kids to public schools that had been completely defunded by these radicals.

Wow. This is crazy. Do we fund religious schools like this in other states? I thought federal taxes didn’t go to religious education. Also, the funding should stop if they are underperforming, especially when that money has been siphoned from public schools. These parents should be jailed for not sending kids to school, along with Christians who do the same.

We do. There was a Supreme Court ruling on it maybe a year or so ago.

The government leaders in NJ all know about it but are afraid much like about the mafia to do anything about it. Let a black person commit the same scam . They are sentenced to three years. You can see why resentment then builds when only some are allowed to game the system without legal or political consequences

It doesn't much matter what his reasoning is.

If he is not hiring people simply because they are Jewish, he is breaking the law.

This is a very divisive cultural issue in NJ. I don't think most people on this thread understand the cultural dynamics at play unless they have lived in NJ at some point. Many people are very scared that a large influx of a population with very different social viewpoints (than the current residents) will create an environment that is hostile to their general way of life. People are also concerned about potential risks to women's rights due to religious beliefs regarding gender segregation. There are literally pools in NJ now that have mens only and women's only swimming hours (or even entire days). I am not sure what the solution is, but it will be very challenging to find a solution that is acceptable for both conservative religious groups the generally more secular residents currently in these NJ towns.

You’re comparing Hasidic Jews to the mafia?! What are people afraid of, that Hasids are going to hold them down and dress them in an ugly black suit?

The Constitution is quite clear on discrimination. This shouldn't even be a question.

What I was trying to tell you was that they have their own sub-definition and almost all the Jews you know of do not qualify. Word choice matters and means something. This isn't a Jewish thing. It's a Hasidic thing.

Its absolutely horrifying and i don't blame this guy for not wanting it in his town.

I am Jewish and I agree with this 100%

Orthodox Jews are a cult they are MAGA morons.

I grew up in that community I know what I am talking about.

They are no better than the Christian right banning books, women treated like crap less than males, criminals, pedos yep same as the bible thumping crowd.

If they are engaged in fraud that can be addressed through the proper channels. The rest is just pure anti-semitism.

How is that ANY different from any other type of xenophobia? What’s wrong with women-only hours at the pool, as long as they are equal to men-only hours?

Are you Jewish, may I ask? It’s anti-semitism regardless of whether you think it applies to the “bad” Jews only.

I'm a hijab muslim woman, love the. opportunity for women only hours but what about families that want to go to teh pool and swim together? We often go swimming in the evening, especially the winter, as a family activity and I wear swim pants and a rash guard. There is such thing a going overboard.

No it isn't. And it is ironic that you would say so. Because defining all of Judaism by one fundamentalist sect's radical interpretation of it is.
