wolfish: so if tuition is brought down by half, that’s great, and sorry i meant state not city

1. Do you think that the state is going to step in and give money to private schools? Keep in mind two very important facts:
a. New York State is prohibited (via it’s constitution) from supporting religious education. Therefore, even if the state Legislature *wanted* to pay for yeshiva education, they couldn’t.
b. The state is flat broke. Getting the state to agree to pay millions of dollars for private school education would be tough even in flush years — in times like these, it’s going to be darn near impossible.
