Parents freed in Israeli school segregation row

Imagine that, two groups of ultra-orthodox Jews, and one group doesn’t want their daughters to study with girls from the other group because the other group isn’t religious enough! Now you talk about religious imbeciles…

Look at the photograph below. Now just imagine, it’s over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade, and these nut-jobs who I seriously doubt take a shower but once a week, if that, are wearing black pants, black overcoats and a black hat; and this is all they ever wear. Is it even possible to imagine what it must smell like in the middle of that melee? TGO

JERUSALEM – Israel’s Supreme Court has freed a group of ultra-Orthodox Jewish parents who were jailed for violating an order banning segregation in a West Bank girls’ school.

A court spokeswoman said on Sunday that under a compromise, the girls will study together until the end of the school year, which falls on Wednesday.

The sides pledged to work out their differences over the summer.

Parents of European, or Ashkenazi, descent at the school in the West Bank settlement of Emanuel don’t want their daughters to study with girls of Mideast and North African origin, known as Sephardim. They claim the Sephardic families are not religious enough.

Tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews turned out to protest against the court when more than two dozen parents were jailed on June 17.
