Abstract
The chapter discusses the exemption of Ultra-Orthodox boys’ high schools from teaching the mandatory state core curriculum. It claims that this exemption endangers the liberal underpinnings of the Israeli polity. While UO schools teach UO boys an exclusively religious education, they are nevertheless granted extensive state funding which allows them to steadily increase the numbers of their students. This chapter claims that this allegedly multicultural accommodation is neither required by liberal theory nor comparable to the practice in other liberal states. Furthermore, this exemption seriously undermines the already shaky liberal democratic foundations of Israel; at the same time that the state treats the UO community as an enclave community, giving it both funding and autonomy to inculcate its radicalizing religious ideology in its members, it allows UO representatives to control the Israeli religious establishment and impose the community’s radical ideology on the polity through the coercive religious establishment.
