What exactly is the point of even bringing up the "pressure, intimidation and manipulation," if they truly chose to "forego them," eh?

The DRA program includes community projects and service learning. Here is a letter from the Washington City Veterans Committee re. one of those projects, addressed to Diamond Ranch Academy's current Program & Family Support Coordinator, Kole Staheli. He has also held other positions at DRA, namely, Executive Director, Program Director, and School Teacher. Note that at least two members of this committee appear to be related to him.

Dear Kole,
We want to thank you for your support and marvelous participation of Diamond Ranch Academy in behalf of Washington City Veterans. We hoped this day would be one of celebration in the cause of liberty and a remembrance of the individual sacrifice each veteran has made for America. Your students helped accomplish both of these goals.
The students were impressive! They arrived willing to work and were very selfless in their service. I watched them assist the veterans. The youth were attentive and respectful. Their deportment was exemplary. Throughout the day, they were quick to see and address the needs of the elderly veterans. Even though they had started early and were themselves hungry, the students served every single veteran and adult present before they themselves ate lunch. Many of the veterans thanked us again and again for this day. One said, "You don't know what it means." I think we're beginning to. In a time when division and rancor are pressed upon us, to have a few hours of harmony and joy is an absolute ray of hope.
I watched one young woman help Britt Kendall into his car after the luncheon. She was so careful with him, and when he was settled, she knelt next to him to express her own gratitude. Through her tears she said she'd pray for him. That moment was to me the capstone of the entire day. Because she said what I had been feeling. These wonderful men and women have given us more than we can ever thank them for, and the best thing we can do is to pray for them. Will you tell your students that we love them? They help make our celebration feel like home.
Kole, thank you for your personal willingness to serve this community and your support of the cause of freedom. Please know that we are grateful for you and your staff. They are professional in their conduct and are so pleasing to work with. The rising generation needs only to look up to see those they may trust enough to follow. Thank you for the great good you do.
Sincerely,
(signature of Susan Hancock)
