I only wish laitzonus of serious torah ideas and gedolim were greeted with the same oppobrium and visceral disgust that one has for racism, sexism, etc
I teach elementary school children; if someone makes fun of shabbos it’s ok, but if someone makes fun of the debased and repugnant culture of certain groups of people, they are chastised and not tolerated in the social group. Such is the norm in modern orthodoxy, a twisted ideology which champions ideals not found in chazal and repudiates those which are. Rabbi J.B. Soloveitchik aaid so himself; that there are people who would readily disagree with moshe rabbeinu, and we tolerate them in the interest of not appearing fanatical lr fundamentalist…yet if they disagree with the politics of (then) menachem begin…achas daso lehamis
If making fun of the holocaust evokes disgust and anguish – justifiablly so – should not the same feelings be felt if not more for the elbono shel torah? We are used to people mocking rabbonim and torah, because we let such things fester and grow. We don’t take torah seriously, or at least not as seriously as racism, sexism, or holocaust denial.
