Abuse is indefensible. That said, let's acknowledge that article for the hatchet job it is.
Wait, Newsweek still exists? Had no idea.
True. I'm still curious why they are stubbornly holding on to that teacher...
they aren't? Reiceis has been out for years.
The article brought to light the issue of physical abuse, in addition to sexual abuse. (AFAIK) All the physical abusers mentioned in the article are still currently employed by OT.
This question is for those who are familiar with the Newsweek article and those that are familiar with Oholei Torah.Why does Oholei Torah stubbornly refuse to fire the abusive teacher in question?Any insight would be appreciated.
Are you familiar with the case? If not what's your question? Fire a teacher just because he was accused?? Ruin a family??
Let's see, I'm familiar enough with the case that I have actually seen this teacher viciously assault a child. Is that enough for you, or are you still "worried about his family"?
So instead of לא תעמוד על דם רעך, you want to be a רוצח בידים?
The CH bais din paskened that one is obligated to immediately report all abuse to law enforcement.
was that not just molestation ?
So what are you doing writing on DDF, go to the police immediately לא תעמוד על דם רעך
