Question

Kavod HaRav, I'm sorry for continuing to pursue this one topic, but the Rav stated in the last reply that, "If the Gemarah that they learn is about ethics, or about stories of Talmudic Scholars, it can be OK to learn. I don't think that this is what they're teaching." Why are those topics permissible, as opposed to others?
