Look, having fucked up kids, or fucked up parents, is not a thing either party has a monopoly on.
The key to who these parents are is not their political leanings, it's their gullibility, desperation, and vulnerability to being conned.
The key to who the owners and managers are is not their political ideology. I think it's clear by now that they ape the dominant ideology of the local political establishment as protective coloration for their con.
Look at ASR---it's a liberal poster-child school. Then you have Bethel in Missouri and all the WWASPS stuff.
The Democrats and Republicans are partners in crime in the excesses of the "War on Drugs."
This debate is meaningless political bashing of the "other." The problem spans the political spectrum. Proportion is irrelevant. Both parties also have substantial reason, if they get the word, to crack down on this industry. No sane politician or voter is *for* child abuse.
In the context of this issue, political bashing is a waste of time and energy and needlessly alienates potential fellow-travellers. If we want reform, we have to be bi-partisan and let the animosity go.
