Its true, there are no Jewish public schools and per year some go for more then 15,000 now think of it when you have 5 kids all in school and you are not approved for scholarship, that would come out to 75,000 per year! And honestly you don't want to get me started on how yeshivas are taught and run right now.
Yes theres a Muslim public school which opened last week in Brooklyn. It said it in part of an article by the New York Post which I have actually just found. here it is;
A WEIRD WAY TO WAGE WAR
By: Adam Brodsky
September 7, 2007 -- AS Americans mark the sixth anniversary of the start of the War on Terror this Tuesday, we can be thankful that our response to the attack, so far, has averted any follow-up on our shores. At the same time, though, some of our actions post-9/11 have been, well . . . weird.
And potentially self-destructive.
What's been most inexplicable is the urge to accommodate the enemy. It's almost as if we've felt guilty about our ability to prevail and want to even the sides, handicapping ourselves and giving the enemy every edge.
Arab Muslims perpetrated the 9/11 strike, yet in its wake:
* Many of us focused on protecting the rights of . . . Arab and Muslim Americans.
* New York City, which suffered enormously, suddenly decided it needed a public school to cater to these groups and to glorify the culture that produced the movement behind the attack. (The school opened this week in Brooklyn; we can only wonder what its lessons about 9/11 will be like.)
* Mayor Bloomberg rose to defend the free-speech rights of a Muslim prison chaplain and to safeguard his sensitive job, even after the chaplain called the White House's occupants the world's "greatest terrorists," claimed Jews control the media and insisted Muslims were being tortured in Manhattan jails.
* Ground Zero was seen as an ideal spot for the International Freedom Center, which (had it not been killed by public outrage) would've been open to debates on whether America got what it deserved.
* A proposed memorial to the U.S. heroes of Flight 93 - who fought their hijackers and crashed in a Pennsylvania field - took the shape of a crescent, a core Islamic symbol.
True, some of these ideas were more kooky than dangerous. But what about when a paper as widely read as The New York Times:
* Sees fit to divulge, on its front page, U.S. national-security surveillance and counter-terror programs?
* Wages an endless battle on behalf of terror prisoners?
* Slams law-enforcement agencies, such as the NYPD, for monitoring potential terrorist groups on the Web and filming them at public events?
* Launches - along with other liberal media, leftist anti-war groups and elected officials like Sens. Harry Reid and Ted Kennedy - a nonstop drive to convince folks that fighting threats, such as what was seen in Iraq, is misguided and hopeless?
Certainly on Sept. 12, 2001, few Americans would have envisioned:
* The hairsplitting debates we've had about interrogation methods, confining terror suspects and even their comfort levels at facilities like Gitmo.
* The premature release of detainees, who soon show up on the battlefield to kill again.
Few, indeed, would've expected that, in less than six years' time, the national focus would shift, as it has, from how to win the War on Terror to how to pull the troops from Iraq so as to best score points in a presidential race.
Again, America's formidable overall response - bolstering homeland security, intelligence-gathering and counter-terror programs and taking the fight to the enemy abroad - has served the nation well.
But the jihadists have drawn strength from some of our other actions. Their morale, if not resources, would have been worse - had our responses been tougher, more consistent and broadly supported.
Yes, it's perfectly American to pity terrorists and blame ourselves for "overreacting." But as the war drags on, time will only further soften our resolve.
Americans must decide: Do we let down our guard - and wait for the next awful hit? Or do we recall the debt we owe the 3,000 victims, and America's next generation, to stamp out the terrorist scourge as quickly and thoroughly as possible?
Tuesday's anniversary seems a fitting moment to confront that question.
