Popa, it’s not true that YCT (the Yeshivah R’ Weiss heads) has disavowed the term Modern Orthodox. The term is all over their website. And they are widely accepted as Modern Orthodox by the Modern Orthodox, evidenced by the fact that lots of their alumni are rabbis at longstanding Modern Orthodox shuls (and also Orthodox day schools) throughout the country. One is even the Chief Rabbi of Finland. I don’t think it’s the case, as you imply, that simply looking at their writings will make clear they’ve abandoned the mesorah. Just because one graduate talks about gender bias and leaving out shelo asani ishah doesn’t mean the whole yeshivah is “Conservative.”
