I realize its news to some people,but the ultra orthodox communities in New York and many other places only teach in yiddish up to a certain grade.In Monsey, Monroe,Boro Park,Williamsburg and flatbush and a handful of other places this is the case.The problem is not my identity folks..Its your lack of knowledge of the jewish world thats the problem.My children attend such a school.The girls are taught earlier but the boys not taught english until kiter daled or 4th grade.look up Chasidism in America.. google it .Educate yourself ..Then call me a fraud.
