    The Spin

    Right narrative

    These regulations are a blatant attack on religious freedoms and a slippery downhill slope toward the state gaining complete power over children and their education. Parents should be allowed to prioritize a religious education for their children without state intervention in the curriculum.

    Left narrative

    Students at many Orthodox Jewish Yeshiva schools in New York are being systematically denied a quality education. Instead of being taught fundamental subjects like math or science, these students are being educated almost entirely in prayer and religious texts. While religious freedom is important, these schools are fundamentally failing their students and creating young adults with no skills to navigate the outside world.
