Also, why would the Schnees be disgraced for hiding it? Nobody even knows about them except a select few. Ruby walks around openly with Silver Eyes and nobody takes any note except Ozpin. No, he did not. He never taught them anything. The only thing we know for sure is that he came home very angry.

And it is possible that they know this and more people in Atlas know this old tale.
