Generally, the government e does not intervene in how parents raise their children or their intimate marital practices.  Not allowing your children to read secular books is not a crime.  Neither is banning the internet or not using birth control or women not voting or women not asserting themselves.

What you describe as "taking over towns and immediately disenfranchising immigrants" is happening all over this country, OP.  Do you read the news?

I don't like the way Hasids act either, but I think that your outrage is kind of ironic. Let's oppress this oppressive group!

What a bizarre world view.  I see the people being brought up in the Hasidic community as being oppressed and stripped of basic human rights.  It's no different than other religious cults that attempt to cut their members off from the rest of society and place high barriers to exit based on threats, intimidation and worse.  Furthermore, i would see the communities that these Hasidics invade as being oppressed.  They suffer from school and local town budgets being gutted and end up completely disenfranchised. Nobody is saying to oppress the oppressive group......I'm saying give the oppressed back their basic rights. [/quote]

Cite the specific laws that you see them violating. [/quote]
