AAQ, when MO teachers have an equivalent of “zohgt der heiliger Rashi,” I’ll change my tone. It’s not even comparable. MO kids are pumped full of zionism, “ahavat chinam,” which is a very apt description of a sourceless fantasy, love of secular culture, and told over and over about how you “can” be a good jew in the modem world,  edited. Torah is taught as though it is stories about ordinary people… people can question if Avraham was correct in going ahead with the akeidah – they look at it the way goyim read their Bible. But they add a sprinkling of rabbinic commentary as food for thought.
