In London, inspectors are criticizing two Orthodox Jewish schools for providing reading books in which “images of females had either been erased or radically changed” and for presenting “very narrow views about the role of women in society,” according to The Guardian. Leaders at Stamford Hill’s Yetev Lev “refused to allow pupils to talk to the female inspectors on a formal basis” and made clear to Ofsted, the group responsible for the research, that they had “no intention of providing pupils with experiences to enable them to acquire an appreciation of and respect for differences between people, based on culture, religion, sex and sexual orientation.” At least 794 students attend that particular school.
