I don't disagree at all with what's proposed and it's a long time coming. However, anyone who thinks this has nothing to do with the election and how close Zeldin is to Hochul in the race is a fool.
Hochul will negotiate with the various sects to ensure that their bloc voting will go to her. After the election, this will be dropped. The welfare state at work. Watch and learn how votes are bought with taxpayer money.

The state Education Department is proposing new regulations of private schools after years of allegations that some New York City yeshivas failed to teach students in English or cover basic math and science.
The proposed regulations will revise the framework for private schools to demonstrate that they offer an education the state deems “substantially equivalent” to one offered in public schools.
Some 1,800 nonpublic schools in New York state will be affected by the new guidelines, if they are approved by the state Board of Regents at a Tuesday hearing.
The proposal follows allegations first raised in 2015 that more than two-dozen city yeshivas did not meet the state's threshold. The city's Department of Education found in 2019 that only two out of 28 yeshivas were providing students with an education “substantially equivalent” to one in public schools.
