re: #399 GunstarGreen

ACE has been known, for quite some time, as a very unhealthy indoctrination program. The entire point of it, from foundation up, is to essentially brainwash children into being good little ultra-religious drones that are actually, physically, incapable of questioning their religious leaders. Its very goal is to ensure that they are not equipped with the mental skills necessary to think for themselves.

If you read it, it is true, and it must be memorized. That is the lesson of ACE, because its goal is for the people it breaks to treat the Bible that same way.

I’m constantly seeing hypocrisy. The same people who would teach this would point out the inadequacies of some of the Fundamentalist Islamic Schools—teaching students only to memorize the Koran in Arabic. I don’t see much difference.
