Doesn’t it have some connection to Kedushas E.Y.? Why can’t there be different standards for different places? Can somebody in the know please clarify.
Secular education in E.Y. was banned way back when they came in form of “gymnasiums” IIRC. And major funding was forfeited, rightfully so, as the goal then was assimilation. We don’t truly know what their end-game is now, so things aren’t as different as they seem.
