The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

The New York Times has released a report after a lengthy investigation into New York's Hasidic Jewish schools, also known as yeshivas. Hasidic leaders have denounced the summary findings, calling it cherry-picked data and outright lies that portray the Hasidic community as "villains." Young Advocates for Fair Education (YAFFED) began petitioning the New York State Education Department in 2011, alleging that children attending these schools are left "completely unprepared to work in, or interact with, the world outside his community." In 2019, the state Department of Education released a statement that of the twenty-eight schools they visited, only two met the "substantially equivalent" status, while others were "developing." YAFFED said it is typical for a Yeshiva graduate to have abysmal skills in basic math, writing, and English, as Yiddish is spoken in school and at home. According to the New York Times, "Only nine schools in the state had less than 1 percent of students testing at grade level in 2019, the last year for which full data was available. All of them were Hasidic boys' schools." The ultra-Orthodox Jewish community sees the investigation as a religious freedom issue and fiercely resists curriculum changes. Leaving the Hasidic community is extremely difficult as former members have inadequate job skills and are usually forced to break ties with everyone and everything they've ever known. Footsteps, founded in 2003, is the only organization in North America designed to help transition former ultra-Orthodox into society and helps provide hope and vocational services to those who make the brave decision to leave.
