Another day, another APP story.

"Lakewood Cheder OK'd for 3-school campus in Jackson," reads today's headline.

It was Bais Faiga which got the approval for girls schools in Jackson. But the headline has to plaster the word "Lakewood" across it to amplify the fear that Lakewood is taking over Jackson.

This reporter is a real closet anti-Semite IMO, who uses subtle methods to stoke fear and anger.
Call him out on Twitter?

Lakewood Cheder is the parent school of Bais Faiga. What about that headline is not accurate? (I agree that the APP is not a great paper but not sure what is not accurate here. Also we ARE slowly taking over Jackson, that's just the reality)

This thread is spot on. Two sides using numbers to support their narrative.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

The applicant was not names as Lakewood Cheder, and the school that will be there is not Lakewood Cheder. The headline should be as accurate and as pointed as possible. This doesn't qualify.
