Wow!  So Jim left the Idaho Cedu-clones?  Wonder what happened and if it was voluntery  or if it was a "resign" or we fire you?  I wonder if he took Brandi Elliott with him.  They were in that partnership together to put more kids in abusive programs while lining their pockets with parents' cash.  She went to work for the new CEDU in Idaho, too.
So synanon still spreads its snake venom!

Apparently, they still have much to hobnob about:

It's like they just don't care at all how they look.

Oh, they do care! They're damn proud of it!

I know it may be very difficult to imagine in this day and age, but back then, some therapeutic communities took a lot of lifestyle affects from communes and hippie attire, and to the average person they were seen as a progressive development, perhaps even radically so.

You have to understand that the style in which you dressed was everything back then. People could and did judge a book by its cover. If you were a male and your hair was cut short, there was a 99.99% chance that you voted Republican and that you liked Nixon. You were either hip, or you were square. People that ran these TCs were mostly "hip," or tried to look "hip" (given that much of their clientele were "hip").
