Apparently the kids would come from both Flatbush and other Brooklyn neighborhoods. The article is unclear as to whether the Charter school was the first to inquire about using the schul’s facilities or the yeshivas had been seeking to use the space first. If the former, the shul’s leadership probably was concerned about being accused of reneging on their deal in an effort to discriminate against a predominantly minority school population….something clearly anathema to “progressive” yidden.
