Hyde School Links to Conservative Think Tanks

It was the boy, Elijah. I am guessing this was in the early-mid 1990s; Character First: The Hyde School Difference was first published in 1993, and it is my understanding that he was still attending the school at the time.
Hyde didn't seem to change much about Elijah, which is not surprising, since ultimately Hyde usually doesn't change much about anyone, just traumatizes them. About ten years after the book came out, Elijah became a Hare Krishna for awhile.

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---Have you actually read this book? It is hardly a well written, incisive, scholarly tome. Gauld writes in a self-congratulatory and self-promoting style. His writing consistently falls far short of intellectual and conceptual depth. Like so much of Hyde, Gauld's writings are thin, superficial and lacking in real substance. At least what goes on at Hyde is consistent with what appears in print. If only consistency were one of Hyde's key virtues!

Oh, it absolutely sucks. It is just so painful to read. And the anecdotal stories, I recognize so many of these people; they are, in a large number of cases, still at Hyde! They were chosen for their roles way way back. I just couldn't imagine that any self-respecting publisher could put out drivel like this, but I figured the forward by Cher had something to do with it.
Finding out the publisher's real agenda, and how ICS fits into the larger scheme of things, plus seeing the Donner Foundation rear up its head once again, made the whole scenario take on a different light.

Here's a compelling exercise: Go to Amazon and try to find anything Joe Gauld has written that's available from Amazon directly. You'll come up with a big, fat ZERO. The only way to get hold of Gauld's pap is to track down people who have access to a copy (I see one for $3.47!).
If you believe that the marketplace of ideas and consumers ultimately determines whose concepts are worth buying, the market speaks loud and clear: virtually no one is interested in what Joe Gauld has to say. The market has determined, convincingly, that there's almost no audience for the stuff that comes out of his mouth and off his pen. If his ideas were so good, how come nobody's buying? Gauld's rhetoric is full of tired cliches and holds little substance. Most people see it for what it is.
This is yet another piece of compelling evidence that Joe Gauld is a a legend in his own mind, but almost no one else's.

cher ..... Damn Duane hit a peach truck, greg married Cher ... what can I say beyond that. At least Butch had a kid that wails at slide, almost a reincarnation of Duane.
You can buy the books and help support the mission at the Hyde Books Stores!

Ursus, that's some fine research. I highly suggest cataloguing it and putting it together on one website. I would like to see some chain-linked websites on the child abuse institutions with pure research so interested researchers, journalists and such, can easily find information and connect dots.
