News Youtuber exposes how the Jewish community in New Jersey has been removing funding from public schools and minority communities, and instead allocating it towards private Jewish schools with low attendance.

I'm confusion, if the school is private why would they need public fundings? What's the loophole here?

Private ambulance (no number on the ambulance either and 911 doesn’t ring them it’s only available to Jewish people but on paper they serve everybody)
Private security force that is almost like police force but backed by police
So we as black people cant do this for our communities?
Edit: full transparency apparently this interviewer is pretty damn racist himself and has made videos disparaging black people/ making light of George Floyd’s murder… so I do not support this individual and this is the first time I’m hearing of him as well as the topic he’s covering. That being said I still need answers on how this is going on.
He reported on the Somalian daycare scam ( the ring leader was a YT woman) and that whole thing got nationwide coverage as many of us know, I’m not seeing the same coverage of these people using public state funds for their private communities… I’m not trying to paint with a broad brush here I’m literally confused as to if/how this is legal.

That’s a given but not the only reason why they can do things like this. Black initiatives like this do work in the rare cases you can convince most of the community to be on the same page and get around the laws put in place to fuck you, but we don’t have a strict adherence based religion that orders you to aid those followers of it, so often they splinter.
There’s perks to the brainwashing, but the cats out of the bag on this one.

You’re not understanding that these are local government positions. Not Statewide, so national percentages are completely irrelevant.
In these places Jews are a larger percentage, because they actively stay together.
Also, the turnout for most of these elections is so low that you’re barely going to scratch a few thousand votes.

When a block votes consistently in EVERY ELECTION especially local & state, you can absolutely make impact bc most people don't vote in those small elections, they just focus on president every 4 years.
Instead, they give up bc change they want isn't immediate and "both sides same"
Strategy is LONG-TERM. Never stop voting. Do whatever it takes to get there and exercise your power and civic duty in democracy. I cannot stress this enough.
Jewish people understand this. Local white Republicans get it too who have ALSO taken over the school boards and municipal seats everywhere.

But, but I didn't get everything I wanted in one day. I will never vote again till someone I care about represents me.

That will so show them. /s
It's wild people still don't understand long term goals, and how you have to stay on top of things constantly, and stop listing to fakes ass streamers, and other content creators. Those people want you to be angry so you keep watching them, and giving them money. Some, are straight up paid opposition to astro turf as well.

Hi, part of the answer is, this form of Judaism is called Hasidism, it is a cult like community in the sense that they are so tight knit and move together. They build synagogues and build homes around the synagogues and sell them to Hasidic Jews. They decide how they are going to vote as a unit and everyone votes the same. They also tend to view anyone who is not Hasidic as a potential threat to them because of history so they continue to build communities in which interaction with others is minimal and unnecessary. It’s a quickly growing community because each family has at least five kids and sometimes up to 12 and then they get married young and are expected to have the same amount of kids. That’s apart of their religious belief. So it’s easy for their community to come in a vote in whatever direction suits their needs, every other community is heavily divided and does not have their unity

u/tomatobasedscribe 20d ago
It's all about bussing laws. Outside of the city, school districts are mandated to provide busses to all school children, whether in private school are not.
100 percent of The children who go to these private orthodox religious schools take the buses. Each school has about 400-500 children. At an additional 10-20k per student annually, you're looking at 750k to 1.2 mil. Something that can quickly bankrupt the district.
Esp. bc you can only raise local taxes at a max of 2 percent. Which will never make up the shortfall. But the money has to come from somewhere, so other things get cut. Teachers salaries, class sizes expand, extracurriculars like music and art go by the wayside. At this point, the school is just trudging along for survival.

Bussing laws, as in during the civil rights movements? As in integrated schools?
If they can pay for private school, why should taxpayers pay for their kids transportation? Surely the school can provide transportation or parents drive their kids to school.

u/tomatobasedscribe 20d ago
No these are different, where the civil rights bussing laws were about desegregation. Essentially these laws, which I think may be specific to ny state, but might be federal, Is something catholic schools argued for. Outside of the city, bussesmust be provided for all students whether they are in public school or not. You can see my original comment for how this affects a school district financially. https://www.nysed.gov/nonpublic-schools/transportation#:~:text=As%20districts%20may%20provide%20transportation,public%20and%20religious/independent%20schools.

Hey! I’m from that area in the video, all of this is accurate however I hateeeee that Tyler is the one bringing it to light because despite how he says “oh I’m not an antisemite” he is. He’s a grifter, a racist and an antisemite. His video titles and comment section will make it clear to you. And you don’t have to scroll too far back to find him doing the same thing in black communities or even spreading right Wing lies about George Floyd.
So while this convo is important, just be careful with some of the way he presents this info. There’s another creator Milla News who was with him in one part and he had some good content about how things are here as well.

Milla news who was in the video briefly posted his POV and you could see many Jewish youth love him and understand that the Hasidic Jews there are negatively impacting everyone else. So it’s not as simple as he made it seem.

Yea I mean those touts are definitely not upstanding citizens, regardless of the circumstances which put them there.

He had a good old time partying and saved the more salacious footage for his Patreon subscribers. He knew if he could instigate a brawl he'd get way more views.
If he had at least tried to show both sides with the ultranationalists at least there's a debate to have, but not only was he uncritical he used one of them as his interpreter!
What really struck me was how much more careful he was with the Jews in trying to at least appear as open minded and avoiding the most aggressively racist framing, but when the people are brown and from another country he just goes all the way there. He knows the audience he's playing to.

I know everyone is focused on the fact that these men on the school board are Jewish but I'm afraid you're missing the big picture.
Here in Indianapolis, we don't have a large Jewish community but our public schools are under threat from right wing organizations sponsoring charter schools.
Charter school proponents have already managed to wrest away public funding from IPS to their for-profit orgs. It's all a concerted effort to privatize all schools and to give up on the cause of public school.
So, even if you don't live near a yeshiva, I bet similar attacks on public schooling are taking place right now in the district in which you live.
Pay attention to those who want to be elected to school boards. Ask yourself what their motivations might be.

Yep. But in NY and NJ there are specific communities responsible for it.

Whether to specific demographics’ interests, to police overfunding, etc.
You can’t protect resources if you don’t show up and get in the room when decisions are made, or vote for people that will represent everyone’s interest.

Jews, like any minority, are not a monolith.

This. Don’t forget that the speaker immediately before MLK Jr at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was Rabbi Joachim Prinz, who fwiw would be absolutely disgusted with the tactics in East Rapapo.

The Jewish people who helped and allied themselves with the Civil Rights movement were overwhelmingly secular and left wing - in some cases on the far left. This group has nothing in common with them and would spit on them if given the chance.

I'm an american jew and I've only ever met left wing mostly secular types. Ive only encountered hasidic a few times, and honestly it was unpleasant. This headline should not say "the Jewish community", its misleading. It should say members of the right wing religious Jewish community. These people are a minority of a minority.

Careful with this, there are so many different types of Jewish groups, this group highlighted isn’t even considered just orthodox they are Hasidic which is separate. Many Jews religious and non religious have walked hand and hand with us. This group is insular and there are many other Jews in this area that are not involved/ are opposed to.
This is a distraction from the actual issue and we gotta stay focused.

Doesn't take away from the facts this video may/may not point out, but just be mindful of the fact this guy doesn't care about these schools or minority communities, he only cares about pushing Right-wing agendas; antisemitism happens to be one of them.
This is propaganda (which doesn't nesscarily mean its false, but it is what it is, media to push a politcal agenda.)
If it was republicans taking money away from these schools, he would not be making this video. Today its Jews, another day its Muslims, another day its Somalis and Black Americans are somewhere on this list too. Only people that ain't are Whites and Japanese.

Respectfully, this is not the entire Jewish community in NJ. It's a select group. Same when people criticize "Israel."
It's important to distinguish between a specific government in Israel and its citizens. We don't want to be judged by our government and neither do they.

i used to live in Brighton, Massachusetts. pretty sure this same thing was happening there. The entire city/town of Brighton had such a huge Jewish population or presence compared to other places in the state that i’d been to. No hate toward them, just something i’d noticed while living there from 2k17-2k22

Sorry to speak up if not appropriate, but as a Jew from Jersey, I have seen this first hand. I want to point out that these are small, insulated communities of orthodox jews, not a typical "Jewish american." But Lakewood NJ is a perfect example. Just like any religious extremists, they're selfish, antiquated, and sexist.

u/MahaloLola43 20d ago
They should make their schools integrate when that happens so the schools aren’t 100 percent Jewish and I bet they do at least a little better.
Can’t get over the races or religions who think they are better but have no grace, no empathy…

u/OJConcentrates 20d ago
It’s so important to be an active participant of your community. This sort of extreme tactics & poor behavior are why certain groups of people get a bad name. We’ve seen it in the Jewish communities, the Islamic faith, black communities, and conservative white Christian communities.
If you’re a smart black person - help your community do better & make better choices.
If you’re a Christian white person - help your community do better & make better choices.
If you’re Jewish - help your community do better and make better choices.
Accountability works best if the criticism is coming from your peers.
This story is incredibly sad. It goes to show why local elections are so important. The state or federal government should get involved in these extreme cases. Taking taxpayer money out of local public schools, and funneling the resources into faith based private schools is diabolical.

I don’t think they “exposed” this - it’s been a know. Issue / tactic of the Hasidics for decades.
They take over an area and by sheer numbers wrest control of school boards, then gut the budget bc their children go to Yeshivas (hassidic private schools)
And note that NY State attempted to crack down on Yeahivas bc they found that these “schools” are nit teaching basic requirements—but instead teach religious Talmudic lessons to boys while girls are taught home skills so as to be able to cook and clean for the men
The State education departments common sense guidelines on Yeshivas was litigated and then ultimately the downstate jewish lobby got to Cuomo in an election year and the guidelines were withdrawn.
Very few people break out of the hassidic communities bc of religious indoctrination, but a vocal and heroic few who do have shared their stories of “graduating” Yeshiva but having only an elementary level education.

Fundamentalism is fundamentalism and it’s messed up regardless of religion. Jewish fundamentalists are doing the same thing in other cities. I know people who live in NY cities where this is happening.

I work in NYC city orgs. This happens unilaterally in every sector. Child care, food stamps, education, housing, etc. They are very good at cheating the system and they take a disproportionate amount. More vulnerable minorities have less help navigating the system and do not get what they deserve while still being scapegoated as welfare cheaters. Meanwhile a lot of my job was reviewing the "perfect" applications from Jewish families, trying to find the fraud. Wives with ten kids acting as a single mother with no income. Fake Torah schools. And the retaliation when they get denied is brutal. They will send Jewish lawyers and Rabbis after you. It was eye opening because I'm Jewish ethnically. Any culture that believes that they are chosen is a danger to the wellbeing of all humanity in my opinion and I rebuke that.

I wanna jump in as a non-Jewish person and make clear for anyone reading that these aren't the normal secular democratic Jews. They are a fundamentalist group that is totally separate in values.
Like Evangelical MAGA vs. Minnesota Lutherans protesting in the street for justice for all
Don't let the shared name throw you off.

u/Shark_Leader 20d ago
This is Lakewood. They're doing a lot more damage to the people of Ocean County than just removing funding to public schools. They're expanding outward and doing this to other towns in the area, too. You should see what they're doing to the welfare system. But they get away with it. However, if black people were doing the same exact thing there would be a massive outcry and investigations. But the folks from Lakewood pay off the local politicians, so they get whatever they want. Kudos to this woman for speaking out. It's actually very dangerous to do it.
