When More4 News was reporting on the JFS issue, they showed images of Hasidic Jews from Stamford Hill. For goodness' sakes, not all Jews--not even all Orthodox Jews--have black hats and peyos.

here's the school, BTW: http://www.jfs.brent.sch.uk/

Aside from the kippot on the boys, just ordinary English school kids. They don't even enforce Orthodox modesty rules--the girls' skirts are above the knee (I know because I see JFS kids all the time!) So what does showing Hasidim have to do with it? It's like showing women in veils whenever you do a story on Islam.
