OMG! The New York Times actually had their entire investigative report translated to a 100% perfect Hasidic Yiddish!https://t.co/DO500kHcAL

Instead of all the “Askanim” tweeting and going on the offensive. Go on the DEFENSIVE and endorse out loud Lee Zeldin for governor. I’m not interested in anyone’s tweet and press releases. Tomorrow’s front page of any orthodox paper should be an endorsement for Lee Zeldin. We Yidden have the ability to elect Zeldin if we are united as one. Chasidish, Litvish, Yeshuvash, we can all do it together…
Oh please. The New York Times doesn’t hate or like chasidim. The reporters followed the story which received attention when former yeshiva boys went public with their lack of education.
If the samar schools feel the were maligned, they can sue for libel but that would mean exposing their curriculum to public scrutiny.
My daughter goes to bais yaakov and the teachers are terrified because they’ve been told that this sorry will effect them. It won’t, they get an excellent secular education. This is about exclusively Yiddish speaking schools that provide no secular education beyond some arithmetic.
Even yeshivish places like chaim Berlin will be fine. The government isn’t looking for prep school level standards, just basic instruction.
Also, for the people pointing put that many chasidim succeed, that’s like saying all kids should focus on basketball in lieu of studies because a few make the nba.
While I don't usually approve of Holocaust analogies one must wonder why the obsession of @nytimes with out community and yes: 80 years ago the Times couldn't be bothered w highlighting the plight of Jews; suddenly they 'care" about us? and all those who proclaim their 'concern' https://t.co/YoNiilCnWz

What all the Ortho bros don’t want you to know is that orthodox and Hasidic are not synonymous. They’re using their education in moderate ortho settings to “disprove” the truth of what happens in the Hasidic world.

So NYT found that Yeshivos got $1 billion over past 4 years. divide that by 150,000 students..... averages approx $1300 per kid per year...... that's a huge amount... vs. a public school kid in NY receives average of $30,000 per kid.... Maybe we should fight for this equivalent. https://t.co/ffoh6ojHMl

Conflicted
I am very conflicted by this. On the one hand the Chillul Hashem and giving gasoline to anti semites is terrible. On the other hand, this is shedding light on a very important topic that will otherwise go ignored and will continue doing more damage to our children.
Think how much awareness there has been in the frum community since the revelations in the secular media regarding Chaim Walder. Although deeply shameful, many communities and institutions have taken concrete steps in protecting children since then.
So too here, I’m hoping that although it’s shameful to have our dirty laundry out in the public. Perhaps. we can look at the problem of poverty due to lack of education with fresh eyes and think creatively how to resolve this. Adequate secular education is not in conflict with Torah values. Our children deserve better.
The @nytimes spoke to 275 Hasidic yeshiva graduates and family.

The ONLY reason we spoke to them is because there is not a single frum publication that wants to listen.
They are ALL beholden to our corrupt leaders.
