BRITAIN'S SUPREME COURT DELEGITIMIZES ORTHODOX JEWISH SCHOOL SYSTEM

Melanie Phillips reports that the UK's supreme court has made an absurd ruling on the case of an Orthodox Jewish school that wouldn't accept a child whose mother had converted to Judaism under the Masorti (Conservative) sect.

They claim it was racial discrimination, when it was just a case of their not accepting students who don't follow their sect of religion in Judaism.

I've sometimes thought that a sufficient distinction is needed between the Jewish race and its similarly named religion, so that certain matters won't be confused.

Unfortunately, you won't find those kind of distinctions in Britain, which is clearly set out to delegitimize the religious school system there. But don't worry, you can be quite sure that won't happen with Muslim schools in such a hurry!

In fact, I recommend taking a look at this article from the Weekly Standard, which tells how old school British antisemitism is resurfacing, and even Mearsheimer propaganda can find more willing supporters in the blighty than it can in the US.

RELIAPUNDIT: THE BRITISH GOV'T FINANCIALLY SUPPORTS RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS SO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BOSS THEM AROUND. THE SOLUTIONIS FOR THE SCHOOL TO STOP TAKING MONEY FROM THE STATE.
