If one grows up with the mindset that ONLY white shirts are choshuv, that is what one will believe. If one goes to a Yeshivah which indoctrinates its students in that philosophy, that is what those students will believe. The Yeshivas have that right, and parents have that right to teach that to their children. there are valid points to be made for this. What NEITHER has the right to do however, is to imply or in many cases to actually assert that those who do not attire themselves in this fashion, are somehow less frum because of that.
