“ great idea...put in metal detectors and armed guards in Yeshivas ...that'll help kids grow up innocent and normal

what a major overreaction

if you are invoking the kletzky case ..make a law that only people of certain ages and gender can give directions to certain ages and gender ..just keep making laws to protect against 1 in a million chance of something happening..nuts ”

“ Do you know how many yeshivas have guidance counselors that do not keep confidentiality? Do you know how many yeshivas do not even have guidance counselors? Do you know how many yeshivas don't even follow guidelines from divorce agreements? Do you know how many yeshivas ignore court orders? Do you know how many yeshivas don't offer English and Math (oh that was already reported). Do you know how many Yeshivas still don't have any glass openings on their classroom or office doors, or do nothing if the glass is covered up? Do you know how many yeshivas have no video cameras? Do you know how little our children are protected in a Torah environment? ”

“ No one is forcing u to go to yeshiva. Please dont make a ruckus. This is exactly the wrong publicity for the jewish comunity.

If u dont like it then dont send ur kids to yeshiva. Either home school them or go to public school. ”

“ According to Shmaltz, we should revoke the mitzva of makkeh l'gagecha - putting a guardrail on the flat roof of your home. What are the chances somebody might fall off? And what do you do with, ushmartem m'od l'nafshosaychem. GUARD YOUR LIVES EXCEEDINGLY! Nebach, some people don't give an inch. They won't give in no matter how much proof you have. ”

“ they should have school safety police at yeshivas too. not only in public schools.
parents of children who go to private schools pay taxes too. why not give them this protection ”

“ he should have included Agudath Israel and the church the major forces who are opposed to finger printing and background checks in religious schools ”

“ Dunno why you think that it's a 1 in a million chance? Jewish institutions are targets for radicalism. It's not a major overreaction. I live in the and my kids go to school where there is a public Early Childhood/Elementary school, my kids Yeshiva & the Public Middle School all within 3 blocks from each other. If one goes into lock-down the other 2 have manditory lock-down as well. If you think it's so far fetched , last Friday the Public High School ( a little farther away) went into lock-down because of a suspicious package. It was after school for the yeshiva so I don't know what measures would have been taken..... You tell me if that was a major overraction? Also he might be citing the Kletzky case because maybe there was president set during that trail that will help his case????? ”

“ Do you know how many yeshivas ignore court orders? No, I don't. And I don't know which orders you are talking about. But on the face of it, why should yeshivas be taking orders from goyisher courts? ”

“ I admire Mr Passik's persistance and perseverence in trying to improve safety in the yeshivos. However, what does any of this have to do with the Levi Aron/Leiby Kletzky Tragedy? If you want to start from that case then how about starting from the beginning when Levi Aron was a student in various yeshivos in Brooklyn including a prominent one. He apparently slid through the system with all his various learning disabilities and mental problems never having been dealt with properly. How many more Levi Arons are there out there that we have not discovered yet? How is it that Aron was in possession of heavy duty psychotropic medication which he fed to Leiby Kletzky and yet was not being monitored to make sure he was not a threat to himself or others. If you want to address the problem of safety whether it is with pedophilia or other mental disorders, then the number one issue which must be addressed is mentaly ill people and how to deal with them. They are not going away unless we want to adopt the European Euthanasia approach. ”

“ To all the nay-sayers: The fact that the NY public schools are mandated to have certain security measures but there is no legislation mandating the same security measures in private schools (where in my opinion are more likely to be targets of terror attacks), means that the Jewish schools are by default not as safe as the public schools . Yes, they MAY implement them if they want, but there is nothing forcing them. If you have kids in a private school, wouldn't you want them to be as safe as sending them to public school? the reason you send them to a private school is BECAUSE you want to protect them from certain things in public school ( religious education/environment), and not because you want them in a less safe place to be, or being taught by people who have had no background checks.
The child protection laws should be mandated for all schools, irrespective of public / private. ”

“ The private schools are usually better at imposing their own discipline long before it gets to the point where armed guards are necessary. The reality is that public schools HAVE to accept anyone child who applies, subject only to district residency requirements. Yeshivos/Catholic schools, etc. are generally able to weed out the trouble makers long before there is an issue. Posting security guards at such schools at taxpayer expense is likely a huge waste of money. ”

“ the chances of falling off a roof with no rail is pretty high.

and in terms of guarding your life...then everyone should carry a gun etc etc...you can take anything to its illogical conclusion ...in fact one could make an argument that by not having armed guards surrounding children one is actually guarding a 'life".."life of normality an abnormal life is not living ”

“ This is a very weak reasoning. So, according to you, while in Mitzraim, we should have listened to mitzrim's directives on how to be mchanech our children, and in Russia - to the russians'. Be ashamed of yourself. ”

“ Sad that we need Elliot Pasik to force our community to do what's right. Rebbeim and Morahs getting background checks and fingerprinting costs money and feels insulting so our mosdos are not interested in doing this. But even one child is saved isn't it worth it? ”
