New York State Rekindles Fight Over Private-School Curriculum Standard

The fight over school independence is set to flare once again.

The state is reviving its plan to hold private-school curriculum to public-school standards.

The New York State Education Department has announced a series of public meetings in the coming months as it develops a “substantial equivalency” curricular policy for religious and private schools.

Arguing that more oversight would ensure that all schools satisfy basic educational guidelines, the state floated a plan last year that would have given officials greater control over everything from curriculums to hiring.

The proposal would have allowed public school authorities to vet independent schools for compliance with state requirements, and schools deemed to be in violation would be subject to penalties including closure.

  1. You see now. The socialist-fascist DemocRats never stop trying to take control of all aspects of society. They may lie and make fake promises when they are weak, but when they get stronger they will always try to bulldoze anyone who dares to think different. Our community has relied on the corrupt “democrataskanim” for too long – there can never be a situation where it is beneficial in the long term to support the DemocRats.

  2. Right when New York State stopped giving fines and harassment for Corona so they had to immediately come up with a new excuse to commence on the path of fighting with and harassing Yeshivas.

  3. “control over everything from curriculums to hiring” I hope it doesn’t mean that they’ll stick their teachers into private schools.

  4. Folks, you missed the boat. You can stop bashing and understand the history here. Instead of ramming their agenda down our throats like they tried, and failed, last year, they are opening up discussions which they are required to do but skipped the last time. As much as this was instigated by mashinim they have dragged way too many schools into their net and will, with the help of the aibishter, fail yet again.

  5. How about public schools have to meet private school standards?

    Most public schools in NYC are failing

    This is just a way for them to poison our yeshivos with their “enlightened” progressive garbage.

  6. are you happy for sticking your finger in the governors eye? as they say no news is good news. and the jews would have been off the radar!

  7. this is the governments action with the hand of hashem just like the yeshivas make up criteria for who gets to live and die(aka who deserves to get a Jewish education). hashem has sent the government to show that hashem controls if the yeshivas are open or closed! the Jewish youths who are neglected a frum education is no different then how the cantanists were selected!

  8. If you dont take government money you can have your own curriculum and staff, stop being cheap greedy.
    Thrul chesed campaigns there will be millions for schooling, Also move to red cities within red states.
