NY’s power to regulate religious schools trimmed by judge

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:43 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Parents cannot be required to pull their children from private schools in New York that fail to meet state-designated standards, a judge decided, striking down a key provision of rules recently passed to strengthen oversight of such schools, including those specializing in religious education. The ruling in a state trial court in Albany came in response to a lawsuit brought by ultra-Orthodox schools, called yeshivas, and related advocacy groups over education rules enacted last fall. Under the rules, the state’s 1,800 private and religious schools must provide an education that is “substantially equivalent” to that of a public school. Opponents in the ultra-Orthodox community say the rules improperly target yeshivas, some of which focus intently on religious instruction with far less teaching in secular subjects such as English, math and science.Judge Christina Ryba on Thursday rejected an argument that the state regulations were unconstitutional. But she said st...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:43 GMT

YOKOHAMA, Japan (AP) — The Trevor Bauer era in Japan began Friday at an introductory news conference, where he pulled a blue and white Yokohama DeNA BayStars jersey over a white shirt and red tie. The 2020 Cy Young Award winner is in Japan on a one-year deal that could let him prove himself and return to Major League Baseball, where he was unable to find work this season even after an arbitrator reduced his unprecedented 324-game suspension for violating the league’s domestic violence and sexual assault policy. He was cut in January by the Los Angeles Dodgers, who still owe him $22.5 million this season.Not a single Japanese reporter asked him about his suspension in the United States or the circumstances surrounding it.The only question about it came from The Associated Press. Bauer disputed the fact the question suggested he was suspended from the major leagues.“I don’t believe that’s accurate,” he said of the suspension. “But I’m excited to be here. I’m ex...
