Calling abusing children an “ill” is severely downplaying what is happening. Perhaps use more accurate language if you don’t want to be questioned about it.
“The Times report, drawing on 911 calls and interviews with dozens of recent students, also showed that teachers in many Hasidic schools made regular use of corporal punishment to keep students in line during hours of grueling religious lessons.”
Are there reports of violence used against students at other private schools?

I just said that I don't doubt the evidence. I doubt that it represents a majority of NYPD behavior or anywhere near enough frequency to judge the entire police force. I'm happy to see evidence used to hold individual officers accountable and punish bad actors.

It is a reporters Job to report on things like this.
Other religions like islam and christianity are ridiculed almost constantly in western culture. Do not conflate criticism of child abuse to “anti-semitism”

I agree with you. It's not exactly a surprise that population demographic are shifting. And its not always evil rich white people's fault.

I mean, I didn't say any race should be any percentage. If anything the person I was responding to is talking about racial quota more. I'm simply stating that decreasing in black population doesn't seem out of the normal in terms of national demography.

I don't have any comment on what group should have what percent on all that. Live and let live.

You’re nitpicking. Call it what you want - I would like to see the practice stopped without stocking the flames of antisemitism.

New York is very diverse, but it is the most segregated city in the world.

damn bro. im not even an expert at the Bronx - I am on the Brooklyn side and have seen all types of people and surprising changes to some neighborhoods.. even as we speak they are renovating the bronx museum for 2025 - the influx of people who want to / need to live in the city are finding bronx an alternative -- and some parts that are still social deserts are having small hip places open up to add a new layer of culture which will bring more people to make entire neighborhoods come back alive

The focus isn't limited. It includes any private school that uses corporal punishment on kids, not just yeshivas who do. If 99.9% of the schools this touches are a certain type of school, perhaps some soul searching must be done. It also must be said that not all yeshivas are like this. Some are amazing institutes of learning that treat kids with respect they deserve.

Lol there are tons of videos. I posted the link somewhere else in this thread. But if you want to doubt vídeo evidence feel free. Because cops are so good at accountability right? They didn’t get thrown under the bus give me a break. Police brutality helps no one including the police force.

This is what makes NYC the greatest city in the country to me. Consider other cities such as Chicago, which seem to only be getting worse in segregation (which, is shut down in any convo when I bring it up).

I must be living under a rock because I thought that was already the case. If you haven't read the NYT investigation that sparked the bills here, it's a wild ride.
