Dinah Rose QC wins Jewish schoolboy appeal

Clearly the Appeals ruling is mistaken. If faith schools are legitimate, they are entitled to decide who constitutes a member of that faith. There is no racial discrimination involved. The orthodox Jewish requirements re conversion are religious. They do not determine who is an orthodox Jew, as distinct to some other kind. They determine what is seen to be a member of the Jewish faith, per se. This faith, as others, have a right to determine this by its own inner axioms. There is no discrimination- ethnically- involved in this. The whole conceptual basis of the Appeal's decision is mistaken. I hope that the 9 justice Supreme Court panel will clarify what badly needs clarifying to unravel the conceptual muddle of the Appeal's decision.
