This is a strange tale of an Orthodox Jewish community taking control of a public school board, and then more or less trying to dismantle the public school system in that area. ⇒

They also want to stop paying taxes that go to public schools, are looking for public money to fund their Orthodox schools, and are otherwise doing things I consider to be in poor taste. Of course, I think providing education to children is an obligation of the community as a whole. (I feel the same way about providing health care and a slew of other things.)
