If girls and families cannot adhere to the rules of the schools, there’s no way they can be accepted, whether Sephardic or Ashkenazic. It’s not discrimination at all.
Arye, you’re wrong. There is discrimination. I know many really excellent families who were given rejection letters without even being granted an interview -simply by the sound of their last name. When they fought for an interview, they were quickly accepted and apologized to for the “glitch” that somehow happened.
do Sefardic schools in Brooklyn accept Ashkenazim?
