1. After reading about the alleged boycott of the wildly successful JBAC conference in Chicago, I looked into it and heard that many of those [right wingers/ Agudaists]who wanted to openly ban the conference were unable to do so because a big donor supported the conference so they quietly tryed to organize a boycott and to get their apparatchiks to convince others not to go to the meeting.
ReplyDelete2. It seems from talking to people that the problem with the anti-child molester bais din in Chicago is that [except for one elderly member]they don't actaully care about protecting children. Rather, they use the position to protect their power structure and to protect the yeshivishe crowd and their supporters from punishment for the abominations they commit. It is obviuos that a bais din composed of people who are motivated by these attitudes would not be interested in a meeting that discussed the true facts about molestation in our [Chicago]community.
3. When the bais din and those associated with it found out about the meeting, in order to attempt to torpedo the efforts to combat molestation, they quickly organized meetings in all the yeshias in Chicago. These meetings were only announced after the JBAC announced theor program.
4. Even if these meetings had been done sincerely, these meetings are the only thing the bais din has done publicly to educate the parents of the schools about the dangers of molestation after so many years. Why did they wait so long?
Where are Agudah and Torah Umesorah on the list?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is just me, but I can't stand the title "Noted Askan".
