Just to throw a wrench into the mechanism, I propose we revisit the definition of “secular studies”. Is mathematics secular? There are many examples in Torah where math is used heavily, with notable notes from Baalei Tosafos that discuss geometry, and gematria that uses exponents and higher math functions. Learning the language of the land was done throughout the generations, and one may refer to the Oruch, and countless situations in which Rashi, both in Chumash and Shas uses contemporary language referring to it a “b’laaz”.
Can we examine the definition before volleying the opinions here?
