For this conversation Hebrew is very differnt than Yiddish. Many young frum jews who speak Hebrew have no qualms about going to a university and getting BA’s and MA’s.
How many non chassidim speak Yiddish? Among the more modern’s Hebrew is the preferred language. I think many chassidim greatly overestimate the number of yiddish speakers outside the community. Even in Lakewood the preferred language is english. In Israel I think the Litvish do speak Yiddish as opposed to Hebrew.
We are talking about Mandates here and what is mandated. And you said it was mandated to teach the special ed in their own language so thats why they had to go to more expensive schools costing the district money.
You said Art , music and Drama werent mandated by the state and thats true, but neither is Yiddish Speakers, Seperate classes , or avoidance of teaching about the fat man in the red suit. You cant have it both ways
