Assaults on Faith and Family - Part 3
The Ominous "Success" of Re-Education
http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/009/3-family.htm
Here are some excerpts:
"'Students do me a favor,' urged author Ellen Gilchrist, a guest speaker at the school. 'Totally ignore your parents. Listen to them, but then forget them. Because you need to start using your own stuff...' Her aim was to free students from 'obsolete' family values, not promote personal independence. They must reject the old ways and become 'open-minded' -- ready to accept the unthinkable practices that would bombard their minds....
"After the third suicide, the Joint Interim Education Committee of the Arkansas legislature held hearings.... Perhaps the most revealing testimony came from Brandon's mother, who read from her son's log. In his first entry, he wrote, '...my mom is the best mom on earth.' But three weeks later, he wrote: 'My mom is so closed minded I feel like we will have a standoff soon over issues.'...
"Another mother testified that, 'My son came back from Governor’s School and his favorite line was ‘There are no absolutes; there are no absolutes.”'
