DeB ripped on yeshivas

Mayor de Blasio and schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña are neglecting a massive case of educational malpractice in the city’s ultra-Orthodox Jewish schools, an advocacy group said Wednesday.

Exposed mostly to intense religious instruction, yeshiva students often lack a basic understanding of math, English, science and social studies, according to Young Advocates for Fair Education.

YAFFED founder Naftuli Moster said at a City Hall press conference that de Blasio and the Department of Education are avoiding the issue for fear of tangling with a potent voting bloc.

“This appears, to me, as one of the biggest scan- dals in this city — tens of thousands of children being denied education, and the mayor and the chancellor turning a blind eye,” Moster said.

The DOE said it initiated a probe into yeshivas more than two years ago but has yet to submit any findings.

Just last month, Fariña declined to comment on the issue at a New York Law School event.

“The investigation is ongoing and we are treating this matter with utmost seriousness,” DOE spokeswoman Toya Holness said Wednesday.

While not public, yeshivas still receive millions in taxpayer dollars and are not exempt from state education law that requires them to provide meaningful secular instruction.
