[quote=Anonymous]Here's the cold, hard, reasoning against Washington Hebrew. This school would be at public expense. Is it the best way for the City to spend money needed for all of its citizens? It would strongly draw interest from and provide benefit to a privileged subgroup in a city with many in need: those who would like their children to speak Hebrew due to cultural affiliation to Hebrew and Judaism. It would be of significantly less interest to those who are not specifically interested in Hebrew for their children, because, factually, Hebrew has very little utility outside of those with strong cultural affiliation to Israel. The unequal benefit and attraction of this program should not lead the city to prioritize it among its funding needs. Disagree if you want. But explain why, in a zero-sum funding world, this program should be favored over other programs with broader interest or benefit to those in need.[/quote]
