First: Let us assume I have no proof whatsoever. Why should your unproven claim be believed more than mine?

Second: “Rabbi, Dr. Lander A’H, is the one whom instituted all policies in any Touro school. These are all acc. to Halacha.”

“What you think he [Dr. Lander] okayed it? Secondly, even if he did, does that mean he knew what he was going to speak on?

I said policies, not speeches.”

According to you his policy was to allow speeches about any topics?

I’m going to repeat again that what was discussed on the first page of this thread was not motzi shem ra.

“He did and thats “a fact, not an insult”!”

I know I asked you earlier in this post to substantiate this claim, but it’s coming up again so: How do you know this?

By the way, why did you refer to Rabbi Tendler as “Professor” Tendler? Also, it’s interesting that you think that one quote from somebody whose work is widely-available and can be found online indicates that somebody is a student in his university.

(I don’t mean to attack you, at least in this paragraph. I’m just wondering)If I quoted, say, Rabbi Belsky, would you assume I learned at Torah Vodaath? If I quoted Rav Elyashiv, would you assume I learned with him?

“”3. Why do you think I am bitter at Touro?”

Safe to say – because why else do you feel the need to keep putting them down?!?”

I think if you were to read the various things I’ve written in this thread, you’d see that I don’t keep putting Touro down. I get irked, at times, when people speak inaccurately and feel the need to correct misconceptions.

I’m not a halachist, so I might be wrong, but I don’t think that any of your examples of “sanctioned violations of Halacha” are actually violations of halacha. And, with regard to your third example, even if it is against halacha, blaming an institution for the misdeeds of one person seems remarkably unfair.
