NYC Mayor Eric Adams waved off a NY Times report that claimed that New York City’s yeshivas deprived students of a basic education even as they took in $1 billion of public money, Patch reports.
Adams instead said an independent investigation into yeshivas will guide how the city moves forward to guarantee all students receive a quality education, as required by law.
“I’m not concerned about the findings of the article,” he said Monday about the New York Times investigation. “I’m not going to look at a story. I want a thorough investigation, I want an independent review, and that’s what the city has to do.”
