    Ywn reported a case where a child was expelled from school after his father shoved a teacher. So what’s your opinion is there ever a situation where it’s okay for children to be made to suffer because of their parents bad decisions?

    As an indirect result (collateral damage) and not on purpose of course what about a situation where the parent is causing harm to the community, like in the case of Moshe Freidman(former neturei karte)for example?

    In that case the father did something violent directly to his son’s teacher (rebbe) in front of the other classmates. That fact may make a difference. It isn’t a case where the father robbed the shul’s pushka and the school expelled the son. It says the son is welcome back once the father apologizes.

    Regarding that Austrian guy, he isn’t NK but he’s stam a meshugana. And he didn’t hurt the community. He used his children as pawns. Trying to enroll his boys in a girls beis yaakov and suing the yeshivas for not teaching Austrian studies.

    he didn’t just try to enroll them, he actually had them attend. You cannot tell me that does not affect the community.

    True. Although if I remember correctly he may have gone on the legal attack against the schools and enrolled his boys in the girls school only after the boys school kicked them out.
