corevalue Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 WTF!? A moslem reporter complaining about orthodox Jew's teachings?? Conflating the word "ban" with "against teachings". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porca misèria Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 WTF!? A moslem reporter complaining about orthodox Jew's teachings?? Conflating the word "ban" with "against teachings". Sounds like someone's trying to ape Melanie Phillips from the other side of her fence of hatred and deception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheBlueCat Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I detect some double standards here. A very small - and totally bonkers - Jewish sect does something downright sexist, and it's national news. Now, a certain other religion I can mention routinely segregates men and women in both religious and non-religious settings yet the BBC doesn't seem to care very much at all. What's that all about? And, separately, I note that the BBC had no problem tracking down an orthodox Rabbi who said it was complete BS and not justified either by Jewish law or custom.

DTMark Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Surely it's very simple. The mothers drive if they want to. The school is supposed to be providing education for children not lifestyles for adults. If the school ejects their children then they send them to another school. And if proven that is what is going on, then any State funding for it is withdrawn. Along with all State funding for all non-secular education and about time.

I'd support a school turning away yummy mummies in chelsea tractors. In fact, making it clear that routinely arriving by any kind of motor vehicle is appropriate only to those for whom a serious disability affects normal mobility. [edit to add] And that's speaking as someone who used to travel by school bus. One of my regrets from my schooldays is that I didn't discover until later that a half-decent bike makes all the difference to a 15-mile-each-way commute.

MrPin Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm not sure it's a good thing to drive kids to skool in London! It never happened to me. We used to walk it! Orthodox anything is mere nutterhood, except the Greeks of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orthodox anything is mere nutterhood, except the Greeks of course. Orthodox Judaism is ok too. It's the ultra-orthodox and Chassidic where it all goes totally bonkers. Orthodox Judaism = sort of like Catholics. Reform/liberal Judaism = sort of like Anglicans. Chassidic/ultra orthodox Judaism = sort of like Wahhabi Islam but without the beatings and with added booze (for men at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the school's job to educate the children, not dictate how they are brought to the school. Where my parents live parent regularly gridlock the road and park on the pavement, and the police come out now and again and ticket every car which stops it for a day or two.
