Dear Art,
Once upon a time I was a straight A student, a member of the chess club, a member of 'future leaders of america', and had applied for various colleges and was accepted at harvard business school.
However, I had smoked some marijuana and was clearly dying, going insane and headed for jail. My parents were convinced to enrolll me during my senior year of school in your rehab and I have never smoked pot again! Because of you I forgoed my scholarship at a top university and spent the next 10 years stepping and kissing libbi's ass. Today I work at circle K, but I am the night manager!
You saved me!
THANKS ART! You are groovy!

Marshall, Greg pretty much nails it. There was a rather subtle but unmistakable CC influence (and by that I mean the Southern Independent Baptist type, playing cards are a tool of the devil, females shall not wear divided costume type Christian).
But it wasn't coming from the original group staff or higher up. It was coming from the parents group. In fact, when I was allowed to go to "school", it turned out to be a freakishly extreme Independent Baptist school attached to a church. There I learned, from the PACE homeschool curriculum, that Col Sanders was a fine Klansman and great American hero, while characters like Jefferson, Adams and Franklin were not even worthy of mention.
And there were at least 3 other Straightlings and a couple of LIFErs in attendance during the 6 months or so I was there.
Did the Seed have a rule about being allowed to read the Bible but nothing else? I can't remember whether that was for front row or newcomer at home (in Straight, 1st or 2nd phase) I don't know what would have happened if someone sent up a coc to be allowed to read any non Judeo/Christian texts. I suppose they would have been allowed if the parents supported it, but I have the impression that it would not have been entheusiastically supported.
The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force.
