Okay, so we have a machlokes. The bochorim did what their mora d’asra held, and removed the pritzus from the public view. Others held not to do that, and so they didn’t do it. And after everyone did what they held, Klal Yisroel too benefited, as the shmutz was no longer in the street in the face of our men and children.
Baruch Hashem, a true “win-win” situation!
