The outcries are deafening and ongoing about including English and Math in Haredi schools, or even in after school programs. Minute inclusion of two subjects into the education of "boys" so that one day, if they choose, they will be able to train and seek a parnasah to support their future families.
Discrimination toward Sefardi 'girls' continues with over 100 frum girls not being accepted in Jerusalem schools as the new school year approaches.
But no one is prepared to turn over the world in this matter, in an effort to educate these girls so they can one day marry and raise future members of Klal Yisrael!
Why is the education of boys considered so pristine, while the children of the other half that stood at Har Sinai before HKB"H are not also worthy of likewise receiving a thorough education?

Thank goodness we in Chabad communities do not feel the need to support English and Math in boy Yeshivos, and yet these boys grow into scholars as well as into businessmen and entrepeneurs. As for the professions, there's no strong urge to do what many of their fathers went into. As for girls, they have a wonderful education in both secular and Jewish learning.
As for the discrimination among Jewisg sects, thank God that too is absent in our communities. Those who feel discrimination among other sectors of Jewish life, ought to "jump ship" and come on board our great ship, because we're sailing to the Era of Redemption, so they have nothing to lose and everything to gain! And, by the way, there ain't no place today, thank God, where Chabad has not yet placed a "Chabad House" to help out that community of Jews.
