The Supreme Court's progressive experiment is being conducted on our children

Rabbi and attorney Yitzchak Zaga argues that Supreme Court rulings requiring Jewish educational institutions to accept Arab students constitute a "progressive experiment" that harms the Jewish-national identity of children. The article describes a story about a father from Acre whose daughter befriends an Arab child in a mixed kindergarten, presenting the educational and identity dilemma that arises. Zaga calls for rooted and clear Jewish education.

Rabbi and attorney Yitzchak Zaga argues in an opinion piece that Supreme Court rulings requiring Jewish educational institutions to accept Arab students constitute a "progressive experiment" being conducted on Israel's children. The article opens with the assertion that according to the Supreme Court and left-wing organizations, every educational institution is obligated to accept any student, even when Arab parents seek to place their child in a Jewish kindergarten or school. Zaga calls this "absolute progressivism, devoid of identity and backbone." He clarifies that Arab citizens of Israel are entitled to fair treatment, citing Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook, but asks whether this means Jews are forbidden from raising their children with a clear Jewish-national identity. The article presents a story about a parent from Acre whose daughter befriends an Arab child named Mohammed in a mixed kindergarten, describing the father's dilemma of being unable to explain to his daughter why she cannot visit her friend's home, against a backdrop of open hostility between the peoples. Zaga claims that the State of Israel is dealing with a confused legal and political leadership that is unable to declare its right to educate its children with rooted Jewish education.
