More Scientology Foolishness

I recently posted on a TV star who's battling Thetans on behalf of scientology. Now the Scientology drug awareness program, which is offered in many California schools, is being called on the carpet by California's education chief. From the SacBee:

California's top education official urged all California schools to drop the Narconon anti-drug education program after an evaluation released Wednesday found it taught inaccurate and unscientific information. ...

The Chronicle reported that Narconon taught that drug residues remain indefinitely in body fat, causing people to experience repeated flashbacks and cravings - a belief also held by the Church of Scientology.

Some teachers also reported that Narconon instructors told students that the body can sweat out drug residues in saunas, and that as drugs exit the body, they produce colored ooze, the Chronicle reported.

And the State Supe is just urging that they not be allowed in schools ... urging?! Hey, Palm Tree Pundit, here's one more reason to homeschool!
