Permitting Kiryas Joel to operate a public school, and permitting the Village's special-needs children to receive the help they need and to which they are entitled in a culturally appropriate environment, only "accommodates," it does not "establish," religion.
And finally, the court criticized the legislature's accommodation of the Kiryas Joel Hasidim on the ground that the "class benefitted" by the law was not "sufficiently broad." But almost any effort to accommodate the beliefs and practices of a minority religion will "benefit" a relatively small "class" -- namely, the adherents of that minority religion.
The Kiryas Joel decision also threatens to undermine the recent decision by a federal appeals court that a recent amendment to the Medicare and Medicaid laws, which was clearly intended to accommodate the particular religious needs of Christian Scientists, did not violate the Establishment Clause.

Whichever way you slice it, the Chassidic community of Kiryas Joel has clearly figured prominently into their local politics, and their votes are hotly contested and competed for.
