Mistakes are easy to make. Claiming Yeshiva of Flatbush is ultra-orthodox is a mistake. A mentsch would admit the mistake and move on, not change the subject and obfuscate.

Again, I'm not fully conversant with what all has happened here, but it is quite possible that there is more than one "Yeshiva of Flatbush." Mainstream media is as bad as anyone at mislabling, and they could have misunderstood a yeshiva in Flatbush as "Yeshiva of Flatbush," thus misidentifying Chasidim as "Modern Orthodox."

Wideawake remarked that because Chasidism is growing (and it is along non-Chasidic Charedim, thank G-d!) that traditional institutional governance is coming under strain and this sometimes leads to misunderstandings with the greater community. This happens in any and all communities experiencing such growth and does most certainly not constitute anti-Semitism.

I though it might be a mis-identification too. But Yeshiva of Flatbush is famous and rather exclusive. No mistake about who it was.

You are both correct - there are multiple yeshivas in Flatbush, but this particular school - which is apparently the new name of the old Joel Braverman - is an Orthodox school which is affiliated with the Orthodox Union and Young Israel.

We know this because Seth Linfield is specifically mentioned in the article.

Sorry, Zionist Conspirator; the media was totally on target this time. The yeshiva was identified as Yeshiva of Flatbush, the Joel Braverman building and that is EXACTLY the institution to which I referred. They also had video of the buiding, and there is no mistake. It is a VERY modern Orthodox school populated by mini kippa shruga wearers and girls dressed almost like the ghetto girls in public schools. Thus, these kids are not to be confused with Chassidic or “ultra-Orthodox” folks in any way, shape, or form.
