If the incident in which Summer Rose was killed was of sufficient embarrassment to The Powers That Be (something like that shouldn't and can't happen in a time of peace) then it is possible the whole thing was covered up. Summer got a 'KIA' listing, a note of commendation in the Role of Honour and probably had the Elementary School in her hometown named after her. Little Ruby was given her mother's medal at a funeral ceremony that, at 5 years old, she probably could never fully understand.

No-one ever spoke of it again.

Ozpin, Glynda, Cinder and Ruby haven't forgotten anything. Cinder and Glynda especially are not inclined to forgive either.
