[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has degenerated into nothing but gleeful posting of negative stories that aren't even local, about isolated incidences in schools that are far away and not representative of Jewish education.  This is just antisemitism under the guise of news.  Disgusting.  But typical.  [/quote]

I'll bite. America is not a religious theocracy and no group gets to set up a parallel existence that runs counter to the secular values and ideals of the country . If that's anti semitic, sign me up. Someone shared a twitter link upthread about these groups admitting to illegally funneling federal funding into their nonsense. I guess calling that out is anti semitic, whatever the hell that means .[/quote]

It's the part where people started complaining about how Jews were moving in and taking over their neighborhood and oh my god they were going to have to move.  That part.  Don't f***ing gaslight us.  [/quote]

I am Jewish, went to yeshiva through 8th grade, and there is nothing wrong with being concerned about an extreme sect of any religion taking over government. Did you read how they took over the school board and cut back on funding for schools because they don't use the schools?  It's not anti-semitism to be concerned about that.

There is real, scary anti-semitism out there, and then there is the don't criticize Israel/Orthodox community for anything they do allegations of anti-semitism.  Both of those are trending up by a lot and if you can't tell the difference it's going to be bad for everyone.[/quote]
