It’s very hard to make sense of your posts.
As for Yeshiva bochurim not wanting to date someone without a BY education, I think you’re wrong. The issue is that there aren’t many other schools out there with good reputations. If a new school started that didn’t call itself a BY, but had a good name, I’m sure guys would have no problem with girls from that school. Also, a school can teach more hashkafah and halacha and less Tanach and still call itself a BY. As far as I know, there is no official organization of Beis Yaakovs that would be able to stop someone from using that name.
One last point: I happen to be a Baal Teshuva. I come from a very frum family, went completely off the derech for a while, and found my way back. I can tell you from my own personal experience, the girls who rebelled the most, and who I used to hang out with, went to Beis Yaakovs. They would want to do everything secretly, so nobody would see them, but they rebelled more than girls from any other crowd. Maybe memorizing Tanach doesn’t give you as firm of a foundation as you’d like to think.
