[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, here's the thing. I just don't believe that the founders/funders of this school have a wholesome desire for brains to be generically stimulated intellectually through language. Nope.

The founder went to Israel, got pregnant, thought how is my child going to be raised with Hebrew outside of Israel? I know, I'll get a lot of support and funding to create a school in DC where I would like to live. The model is there already. It can be a public school. Look into the network a bit more -- it is all about public provision of Hebrew school (what used to be a private endeavor, because, it was clearly religious). Concerns: not being fully transparent about your motives, and, mixing religion with public education. [/quote]

Ok. Here’s the thing. I believe you are an anti-Semite.  :roll: [/quote]

I'm surprised it took 4 pages for someone to claim criticism of this school is anti-semitic.

How about responding to the substance of the previous post?  I assume the school isn't mixing religion and public education so why not point that out?

But I do think it is fair to point out that most people in the US who learn to speak Hebrew do so for religious reasons and not academic or business ones.

So given the limited utility of Hebrew as a second language it does seem like a fair question.

Also are there any non Jewish white people sending their kids to this school?  There are certainly many non-hispanic whites sending their kids to Oyster and many non- Chinese whites sending their kids to Yu Ying.[/quote]
