Scientology makes it in classroom door
Curriculum written by L. Ron Hubbard taught as mainstream public education

Inside the industrial looking brick walls of one of Louisiana's poorest performing middle schools, Scientologists finally have achieved a longtime goal.

A study skills curriculum written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard is being taught as mainstream public education.

All the eighth-graders at Prescott Middle School are being taught learning techniques Hubbard devised four decades ago when he set out to remedy what he viewed as barriers to learning.

The curriculum and textbooks used by Prescott's 156 eighth-graders are similar to methods and books used among Scientologists worldwide. And teaching the children is a Scientologist hired by the school district.

Scientologists helped usher Hubbard's program into the school during the chaotic months after Hurricane Katrina. Celebrity Scientologists John Travolta and Isaac Hayes played key roles, as did a former Clearwater resident known for her persuasive voice.

The people who run the program say Hubbard's teaching technique is divorced from Scientology, that it is just a masterful way to learn. They note that it has won the support of many non-Scientologists, including a number of academics.

Other experts, though, question the quality of the program. And some church skeptics fret that it is an insidious plan ultimately aimed at promoting Scientology.

Prescott's principal had those same concerns. But after closely monitoring the program for more than a year, she is confident Hubbard's program is not teaching Scientology.

All she knows is that the school's long-dreadful scores have turned around.

UM? - Ways that were claimed to be devised by aliens would almost have to be good (NOT!).

It isn't much of a mystery that we didn't have many of these problems when the Holy Bible and GOD were in every classroom in this country. It worked so well that it had to be ended.   Huh
