A few posts ago I talked all about an online course on classical music. The first quarter of sessions were pretty technical in nature and aside from a few moments of immodesty during the film of some musicians, one statement of gender politics, and one glimpse of iconography, it seemed pretty safe for frum eyes.
I mentioned Rabbi Miller's thought that secular studies have some benefit but one takes chances when dealing with them.
And sure enough, as the class progressed it got deeper into the Xtian origins of classical music to the point where I can't recommend the course anymore.
This website is TIDE not TuM (Torah u'Maddah). In TIDE, filters are essential, and when material crosses the line you have to nix it. It's hard at times but you just have to do it.
Done.
