Whether that story is true or not there is a lesson to be learnt and it leads us back to the other threads on OTD. We can’t pick and choose our mitzvos. It is a true aveirah to hurt and humiliate another Jew. What do you think throwing a kid out of Yeshiva does? Does that not hurt and humiliate another Jew? How about the entire family? What about molesting a child? What about abusing a wife?
There are many lessons to be learnt at this point in time. There are so many lessons on what we did wrong in the past 20 years. It is so easy to pat ourselves on the back and say LOOK how many men are learning to day? Look at all the mekomos we have built that are Learning centers? But why aren’t they saying “LOOK HOW MANY LIVES WE HAVE DESTROYED?????” You can’t measure your accomplishments by just your success you also have to take into account your failures.
