]]> Comment on Bialik to be a ‘safer’ school | AJN by Manny Waks http://aleph.org.au/2013/03/08/bialik-to-be-a-safer-school-ajn/comment-page-1/#comment-143 Manny Waks Sat, 09 Mar 2013 09:10:38 +0000 http://aleph.org.au/?p=3134#comment-143 Interesting to note that it’s the three Orthodox schools who refuse to sign on to the SSCV. This is telling. Their justifications are unconvincing. It’s essentially “we know what we’re doing and we’ll deal with it internally – we don’t need to involve an expert government agency, which has been established precisely for the purpose of providing support and guidance”.

I’d be interested to know if, for example, Yavneh has received any anonymous reports regarding this specific issue. All three diplomatically managed to craft their responses so as to ignore the elephant in the room; that Orthodox Judaism and homosexuality are incompatible (although some would argue that this may be somewhat inaccurate – but this is certainly the case in the ultra-Orthodox community i.e. Yeshivah-Beth Rivkah).

Well done to the schools that have signed on.
