DD's former school's graduates "burned" in a comment

I followed links this lovely, which is pretty funny in a sad way. I'm glad we're not in that school anymore. :)

"Anonymous said...Why, do [DD's former school] graduates irritate you? I kinda take offense to that.Maybe you're just a little intimidated???"

Certainly not intimidated. More like appalled. But it's not their fault really. Rather, [the school] has the most distorted, perverted, deranged, and stultifyingly shallow East 20s hashgafa known to frumkind; the teachers and principals dutifully drill incessantly into their students' heads from the day they enter first grade.

This hashgafa is entirely focused on how you look, what others think, and that being creative or different in any way is sorta nice provided that you never, ever forget for a moment that your opinions and interests don;t really count beyond planning the color scheme for your next parlor meeting.

This experience and schools that emulate these ideals are the cause of Hot Chanieism.

Gotta love it.

Gotta wonder about the insanity in Israel, with clothing store white lists and no more "higher" education for teachers. I'm so glad that I don't live there, and I'm afraid that the insanity will continue to spread.

Still Wondering has a great comment about that too, on yet another blog:
The Rambam, hundreds of years ago, lauded the middle road for a reason: because the left of the road is off the derech and the right of the road is off their rocker!

The events that are happening in EY and the US with our chareidi brethren is not positive. It is the self-destruction of yiddishkeit. It's going to reach the point of no return and there will be a MAJOR rift in frumkeit and it will not end well.

Be afraid. Be very afraid!
