Then the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, leader of Israel, spoke words that open the eyes, on the Derech HaMelech, regarding the pressing matter of the chinuch decree in New York: "...A very, very serious matter."
> According to the current law, the Education Commissioner has the say in matters of chinuch. This means that if he issues a decree against our chinuch, we will have to go out with a sharp battle against him. We will wage a fight over "whether he has the legal power or not" — yes!! We will go to the courts and fight.
> According to the Felder law, those who learn limudei kodesh are exempt from learning various secular subjects. Before the Felder law, all Talmud Torahs and yeshivos ketanos were required to teach many secular subjects.
> And when the government turns a blind eye, any individual can sue them in court, and one can have no complaints against the government. That was the way it once was, "and that was the great danger."
> Now, under the (Felder) law, the secular studies that must be taught are very limited. They smuggled in that the Education Commissioner has authority — "what are his powers?" Whether he really has authority is something that can be strongly fought in court! Because it is not clear.
> Even if he does have authority, meaning that he has "discretion" to say that he wants more subjects to be taught, he can be fought: 1) Why is this your discretion? If the law grants an exemption, why do you want to obligate? 2) Are the public schools already in order??
> Anyone who understands a little about the law knows this is a big opening to spoil his appetite!!
This is why we stand much better today than two years ago!!
> Certainly, if, chas v'shalom, it comes to that, we will hire lawyers who know well how to fight the decree, and with Hashem's help we will succeed. But may Hashem help that we should not have to come to that.

Afterwards the Rebbe mentioned the meeting that took place last Thursday (which was supposed to take place in his holy home, but because of the epidemic was held on Zoom) with high-ranking officials together with askanim from various places. They gave an hour, and it dragged on for close to two hours!! "They wanted to know the essence of our chinuch; they have no understanding of our way of life."
Interesting: they wanted to hear what the Satmar — the two Kiryas Joel askanim — had to say!!!
"To them it looks like a group that abandons its children; we need to show them that we do not run away from them." They were invited, as they want to come see! And they already asked for another meeting. "We are going to show them our beautiful chinuch, our good chinuch, the fruits of our chinuch. 'On the contrary, let them come see the difference between our chinuch and their chinuch.'
We will show them not only Kiryas Joel; we will show them how Monsey, Quiryas, Williamsburg, Boro Park look. "We hope, with the help of Hashem, to open their eyes," so that they should see for themselves that nothing needs to be improved, and the decree will, b'ezras Hashem, be eradicated.

First and foremost, we ourselves must know and understand that "our chinuch is a good chinuch, and nothing needs to be improved, nothing needs to be changed and it is forbidden to change it.
"Chinuch among Jews is the law of Moshe for Israel."
And from this we will not budge, and we will stand with mesirus nefesh.
If something is not broken, you do not fix it!
