Ubiq:

In other words yes, you guys are still pretending it’s a good thing.

Has there been any organized recognition of the fact that this is likely worse than anything the Open Orthodoxy ever did? If there’s no condemnation of this, it can only mean one of two things:
1) The only reason the Open Orthodoxy was criticized was because it changed its name. Had they kept identifying as MO, they would have flown under the radar forever. I think this theory is likely given that the main people condemning them were MO institutions, while the chareidi stance was “not my monkey, not my circus.”

2) Alternatively, the MO has lost so much respect that their institutions can completely endorse violations of halachah without anyone batting an eye because everyone has just given up on pretending to legitimize them at this point.
