Talmudei Torah of Satmar, Bobov and Papa in Williamsburg and Borough Park decided lately to add extreme and radical standards to modesty regulations at the girl's schools and Talmudei Torah.
The Satmar Talmud Torah sent home a letter to parents last week, to purchase new glasses for their children, if their glasses are made of plastic.
According to the new criteria the children are forbidden to wear plastic colorful glasses and the frame must be rectangular and not round.
The girl's school Bnos Zion of Bobov added standards for clothing forbidding clothes made of leather or fake leather.
In a letter titled "one must distance himself from the ugliness and that similar:" Recently a new fashion spread in these parts of clothing made of leather or simulated skin, this fashion comes from the nadir of the nations of the world and we cannot allow this fashion to penetrate our region."
Papa Williamsburg chassidus added and surprised parents with a new regulation that prohibited kids to wear a kippa which is divided into four parts, but only a kippa which is divided into six parts.
Also the kippa must be large enough that covers most of the head, and it must be black without captions and colorful paintings."
