Coalition Members Back Anti-Chareidi Education Legislation

By Eliezer Rauchberger

Anger prevailed at a United Torah Judaism meeting in the Knesset on Monday after coalition members sought to advance proposals that would provide funding for schools that upheld the Core Curriculum program embraced by the secular education system.

Party Chairman MK Rabbi Yisroel Eichler contacted Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Coalition Chairman Zeev Elkin to demand they put a halt to the attempt to undermine the independence of the chareidi education system. "The coalition cannot permit persecution of chareidi education through bills that make educational funding contingent on the Core Curriculum program," Rabbi Eichler told Netanyahu.

"Those who demand that we vote with the coalition," said party members, "cannot give free rein to those who hound chareidi education and legislate laws that prohibit the government from funding institutions where the Core Curriculum is not studied, as demanded by organizations such as Hakol Chinuch."
