NY discriminates against Jewish students by not allowing instruction in Hebrew, yeshiva advocate claims

"It's a double standard," said Brooklyn Law School professor Aaron Twerski, whose grandchildren attend yeshivas as his children did.

Twerski and other advocates argue that under the new policy, students in yeshivas should be allowed to be taught in Hebrew, same as public school kids in bilingual programs.

"Even in our public school bilingual programs, we often teach Math or Science or Social Studies in a language other than English ... So I assume, if we do that in our public schools, that would be comparable in our non-public schools," SED official David Frank said in a Nov. 2 taped conversation with school officials about implementing the policy.
