[edit] Areas of contention
Looks like there's a slow-motion edit-war underway here.
We may have to resort to Wikipedia:Resolving_disputes
In particular, I'm noting edits from one or many anonymous contributors posting that
- ) Orthodox jews have exerted a negative influence since the '90s
- ) Persians don't care as much as Asians or Ashkenazis about the public schools.
These are volatile subjects. Both of these positions are worthy of discussion, and are (in theory) defensible without descending into name-calling. The question at hand, however, is whether they can be supported as FACT. Bring primary sources. Only then can we have an even playing field for rational discourse.
I recommend that everybody take a breath and re-read Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view, and Wikipedia:Cite_sources\

The second paragraph of the history section is terribly written, and virtually unreadable, could someone please rewrite
[edit] History and Iranian Jews
It was previously mentioned in this article that "an influx of affluent Iranian Jews who were expelled from their country following the 1979 Islamic Revolution settled in Great Neck"
However Iranian Jews that settled in Great Neck were not necessarily expelled from Iran, the majority chose to leave the country and settled in various part of the U.S. I changed expel to left, I should mention there are over 30,000 Jews still living in Iran and there is no discrimination against them, in fact contarary to popular belief, despite Iranian government's the anti-Israeli stance, they greatly support and respect the Jewish Iranian population.
