the Peleg is against kids brushing their teeth!

As the fighting and conflict between Degel and the "Peleg Yerushalmi" rages on, the Peleg people have opened a new school down south, in the town of Tifrach.

Without getting too involved in the differences and taking sides in this, the major difference between the two regarding the schooling issue is the taking of funding form the government and allowing the government to dictate even just a small amount of what happens in the schools. The Peleg people have moved very close to the positions of the Eida and Satmar in this regard, against what the classic Litvishe Haredi position has been historically.

Anyways, in this article in Kikar about the issue of the school, one activist in support of the school is quoted as having said that if he had children that age, he would send them to this school because "originally they thought the administrator of the local organizations was strong enough to oppose the temptations of the Ministry of Education in their attempts to influence the educational content in the schools, but recently he began teaching the children about brushing their teeth - and then we all understood that we can no longer rely even on him!"

I think this is hilarious. He wont send his kids to a school because they teach about brushing one's teeth. They think teaching about brushing one's teeth means government intervention.
