Just this week the sheetrock wall was taken down in the Safot U’Tarbuot School in Beit Shemesh in line with the court order. In its place, a barrier of furniture has been placed into position to separate between the frum and non frum girls.
When students arrived at the school on Wednesday morning 22 Elul, just a day after the wall was taken down, they were surprised to find that the wall was replaced with furniture piled high to prevent the two populations to mix. The barrier was made of tables and chairs, clearly placed into position to keep the populations apart.
On Sunday 19 Elul, the Jerusalem District Court ordered the removal of the dividing wall between the schools, a wall that was erected on the chiloni side by Beit Shemesh City Hall prior to the opening of the school year. PTA officials from the non-frum school are unwilling to accept the barrier for they explain these are elementary school girls and the must not grow up learning this is acceptable behavior. They add the separation places the girl’s bathroom off limits to the non-frum schools and they are now forced to share a bathroom with the boys.

I assume this is all being done under the guidance of a Rav.
How do you separate wolves & sheep? Don’t worry, our frum daughters already saw how the non frum behaved, and they will never emulate the hatred of torah that the non frum showed and continue to show!
Now it’s getting petty & stupid. True playground behavior, only from “adults”. Time to grow up, I think, & sit down & come up with a responsible solution.
This is all very amusing. Since the anti-religious families are part of a group calling for Beit Shemesh to be divided into a religious and anti-religious city. There was even one person calling for a separation wall like that built against the Arabs. In light of all that was said, I would have thought it would have been the anti-religious families that would have wanted a wall or a barrier of some sort. It seems that like so many other fantasies of the anti-religious, when they are actualized, they are never as pleasant as when they were just a fantasy.
We have finally reached the level of stupidity that I thought did not exist.
These are all little girls. Grow up you so-called adults
The two groups will not contaminate each other, I promise.
I wish they (and we) could remember the achdus we all felt just a few short weeks ago. If we could manage to live together at least in tolerance, maybe Moshiach would finally come!
Could you all please check your facts with people who actually live in the area before you present them to the public.

These are not all little girls. There is no such thing in Eretz Yisrael as an all-girls secular public school. The other school is completely co-ed, with all that entails.
