A new investigation released by the New York Times revealed that Hasidic and Orthodox Jewish schools in New York City are using funds intended for special education for other purposes. The report referred to a 2014 New York City government policy created under former Mayor Bill de Blasio, which made it easier for private school students to receive state-funded special education. But as the Times reported, the policy led to “a windfall of government money for services that are sometimes not needed, or even provided.” The New York Times also reported that dozens of Hasidic and Orthodox Jewish schools, also known as yeshivas, have urged parents to have their children diagnosed with disabilities. Two yeshivas sent mass emails to parents encouraging families to apply for funding. Another school reportedly gave out sample prescriptions to parents, which they could give to their children’s doctors, allowing them to be diagnosed and receive more government resources for the yeshiva. Unsurprisingly, many Hasidic Jews attacked the New York Times and mounted a media campaign against them, accusing the media outlet of bigotry and threatening the lives of Hasidic Jews. However, many advocates of yeshiva school reform welcomed the investigations, saying that they are necessary to force these schools to change.
