Jothar: The way it was presented in the press was before the event. You can hardly blame YU for how that happened. It was an event that Rabbi Blau (and others) felt was very important because Lema’aseh these are Jews that want to be Frum that are pushed out of any Frum society because of something out of their control. Can you honestly defend the Rav who told a 10-year-old that he had tried every Ta’ava in the world before settling on Mishkav Zachor or the Rav who called the 14-year-old (who still had not done anything Assur) “evil”? Can you defend them? And can you honestly fault that person and Rabbi Blau for wanting to make sure that things like that don’t happen again?
