Lakewhut:
He’s helping your side of this debate. Don’t get greedy. The right wing MO crowd absolutely could name the top yeshivas in America and might even send their kids to them. Many of them are fine with their kids growing up yeshivish even if they themselves are MO.
This faction of the MO world, for whatever reason, choses to keep identifying as Modern even though they would probably be a lot happier and comfortable if they just crossed the isle; maybe it’s a matter of pride. Anyway, as EE correctly pointed out, they are a tiny, tiny minority of the MO and it would be dishonest to pretend they represent the whole thing just like it’s dishonest when people claim the 1% of Chabad that’s still old-school-Chassidishe is the authoritative representation of Chabad.
