“I also wanted to add that I’ve found that for some schools, the number of students that they have classified as special ed is higher than their overall enrollment. Basically I’m trying to square the special ed numbers and the school enrollment numbers.”
So wrote Brian Rosenthal, a New York Times reporter, in an email to the New York State Education Department. The group Parents for Educational and Religious Liberty in Schools, which advocates for yeshivas, obtained a copy of the email.
“That’s right. To support its claim that yeshivas have a high percentage of students receiving services, the Times relied on data that it knew had to be false, because the number of students it claimed were receiving special services was greater than the number of students enrolled in the school,” reported Yeshiva World News.
“The Times wasn’t objectively reporting facts about yeshivas but was pushing its anti-yeshiva narrative,” Rabbi Moshe Dovid Niederman, a member of the PEARLS executive board, told the publication. “Now that they have been exposed, they should do the only decent thing they can do: Issue a public apology to yeshivas and the yeshiva community.” JNS
Of they’re not sued, it will go nowhere. Suing is the pnly that will expose them in real time.
What’s the common denominator between The Slimes, The Compost, BBC and other mainstream? Antisemitism.
I’m sorry, I’m really not interested in an apology. I think that they should do the thing that they would do in Japan, fall on the sword. Enough is enough!
Apologies are just words, they mean absolutely nothing when there’s nothing behind it. They don’t mean their apology. Their apology is, oh @#@#& I’m sorry I got caught. That’s not an apology. They should go to the dustbin of history pronto.
