Then don't take government funding....
It is not required, but is typically tied to federal funding as an “accountability provision,” according to testing experts.
This guys agenda has nothing to do with funding. That's just the weapon he uses.

This has affected many normal non satmar/Yiddish NY mosdos. Even those with a real secular curriculum. They rarely live up to the official standards. After all, they teach kodesh at least half the time.

I'm not saying I agree with the way he may be doing things but do you disagree with the results he is trying to achieve?

It's pretty clear that if his agenda is to improve secular education in yeshivos, his methods are only going to be counterproductive and entrench the idea that secular studies are being forced on them from outside.  Poor guy has an ax to grind.  Maybe he was abused in yeshiva and needs to get back?

It clearly hasn't. Henche said the word "abuse" an hour ago. Nobody's flipping out.

This is when it's nice to be on the Chabad side of the Hasidic spectrum. No need for a double life.
Why, no leadership?

Insulation I guess has nothing to do with it.

"His ultra-orthodox sect has long banned internet use, on the grounds that exposure to the secular world would lead to moral corruption, sexual promiscuity, and infidelity."

Or we're taught to use technology to do positive things and we're trusted to do that and use moach shalit rather than being treated like children.

With the added benefit tbat you don't need to live the life of a hypocrite to stay within the fold.
