Over the last few years, Orthodox Jewish private schools, also
known as yeshivas, have been under fire by a group of activists
known as Young Advocates for Fair Education, run by several yeshiva
graduates, who have criticized them for providing an inadequate
secular education. At the heart of the yeshiva controversy lies two
important interests in education: the right of the parent to choose
an appropriate education, which may include values-laden religious
education, and the right of each child to receive an appropriate
education, as guaranteed by the state. These interests raise
further questions. If preference is given to the former, how much
freedom should be given to a parent in choosing an appropriate
education? If the latter, how does the state define what
constitutes an appropriate education or measure the extent to which
an appropriate education has been achieved? And when can-or
must-the state override the wishes of parents? The purpose of this
book is to explore these difficult questions.
