Will Newsom defend the Left’s relentless attack on Jewish schools?
It violates some people's sense of purity when a public service comes into contact with a religious institution.
If the county gives free mulch to a playground owned by a Lutheran church, there are people who earnestly argue that the sacrosanct wall of separation between church and state has been breached.
If a state scholarship program for private-school students is available to Catholic school and Islamic school students, there are plenty who seem to believe the state is establishing Catholicism and Islam as state religions.
And if a disabled child at a Jewish school gets state accommodation for his disability, California seems to fear — well, something.
California uses public funds to accommodate the disabilities of students in public and private schools, unless those private schools are grounded in a belief in God. If your really expensive Bay Area private school is grounded in being "progressive" and is "dedicated to diversity, inclusion, and social justice," then the state will accommodate your students with disabilities. But if your children go to Resurrection parish school in Los Angeles, the state says your child's difficulties are your problem.
This is blatant anti-religious bigotry codified into California law. And fortunately, Jewish parents are suing to strike down the law.
