A few more comments.  Other than the ones I posted, the other >1000 are critical of Hasidic community. 


Does that surprise you?

Let parents bring up their children as they choose. It’s as simple as that.
I have no idea what you are talking about.

Are you talking about schools getting over 1 billion with no oversight?

First, I wasn't posting out of surprise, but rather in response to
Perhaps link here what can be worth reading?

But am I surprised?  I'm not surprised at the tone of the comments, which are taking their cue from the article itself.  Similar comments can be found on any news site.  But what does surprise me is the paucity of opposing comments.  This thread began with tweets from people who apparently knew that the article was to be published soon, so I would have expected them to have been ready to offer immediate counterarguments.  But it seems they're communicating with their own followers, rather than engaging with the source.

Why are you posting this in this thread? I haven't finished it yet, but the article claims that Hochul and Adams are in the tank for yeshivas, as were their predecessors, also Dems.

you realize that breaks down to about $1300/student including covid funds.
(1/30th of the comparable number for PS students)

the need of the article to blur that so broadly should tell you something about the veracity of the rest of their 'material'

I have no idea what it breaks down to, but we can go with your figures. Not sure what PS have to do with it.
What about the standardized test results? Are those figures accurate?

ETA: Some quick math shows we are talking about 200k students?

Most of that money is for breakfast and lunch programs. It has nothing to do with education.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

The concept of מה לו לשקר is basically what advantage would they have to lie and say that all of them failed over reporting the real figure, secondly if the real figure was too good for them they become a כופר הכל which is denying the entire thing, in that case why would they even bring it up

Aren't these breakfast and lunch programs that can only be used by approved educational institutions?

I don't know the exact rules, but regardless they're not "education funding", they're anti hunger programs.
