This front-paged reporting is causing a big ruckus among certain types of activists against 'anti-semitism.' Anyone who believes in separation of church and state (perhaps more accurately in this instance, separation of church and political machines) knows that's bullshit. I will therefore not honor such tripe by posting it.

The New York Times exposé of Hasidic schools is out, and it’s more devastating than probably most of us even imagined. Every sentence is an indictment.

.@NYCMayor’s administration is refusing to release findings on the quality of non-religious education at 26 Hasidic Jewish schools in Brooklyn — even as NY State steps up the city’s enforcement responsibilities for instruction at religious schools.https://t.co/EMUKzzmrkH

Kanye's school looking like it might have similar problems:

The outspoken rapper, whose mother was a professor, said he’s never read any literature during an appearance on the “Alo Mind Full” podcast. https://t.co/2OzWsBkE9n

Kanye West shared that he’s repulsed by literature, comparing books to a vegetable often despised by children. https://t.co/2OzWsBkE9n

The hit-maker’s confession comes after a Rolling Stone report that parents were required to sign nondisclosure agreements to send their children to his tuition-based Christian private school. The school also isn’t accredited yet. pic.twitter.com/yYjPNaazSs
