It's been reported that the private school being founded by Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett have ties to Scientology. The couple are said to be dissatisfied with education option for their kids, so they started the exclusive re-education camp New Village Academy.
The trouble is, the school will use instructional methods similar to those developed by former sci-fi pulp writer and scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard. And "a few" teachers just happen to be members of the cult.
Jacqueline Olivier, the Smith school director, issued the standard denial that the school has ties to the church of Xenu: "We are a secular school, and just like all nonreligious independent schools, faculty and staff do not promote their own religions at school or pass on the beliefs of their particular faith to children."
Well okay. That ought to appease the California Board of Education!
In addition to traditional subjects like arithmetic, reading, and history, the school offers classes on yoga, etiquette and robotics.
The brainwashing Academy is scheduled to open in September.
