DHS, Mount Bachelor Academy Settle Case
Whooter:
--- Quote from: "Anne Bonney" ---
It says NOTHING in there about regretting anything they did. In fact, it actually says, "Under the settlement, the state is withdrawing or modifying all of its orders and actions taken against the school, but says it still stands by its decision to investigate the facility, which had about 90 students and more than 75 staff as of early last year, with tuition of $6,400 a month."

Even Aspen agrees with the decision to investigate MBA. Based on the initial evidence DHS felt they had no choice but to close the facility down temporarily. But after after they reviewed all the evidence they found out that they were wrong and jumped the gun.
I think we all agree that the initial action was warranted based on the information they had. DHS has no authority to tell MBA they have to repopen the school. Now that all the children have been relocated to other facilities there is no rush to reopen the facility. The start up costs are high.

Dysfunction Junction:
--- Quote from: "Ursus" ---I'm not too concerned over whether Barry Lerten is "aware" or not of whatever it is you seem to think he was.
What I find troublesome is your quoting Aspen press release material and claiming or insinuating that it is from an article written by a bona fide reporter who has certain standards of veracity in what he has authorship of.
When you claim, "The article goes further to say...," you are averring that what preceded your words as well as what comes after them ... is from the article. In both cases, that simply isn't true.
Since I tend to view the veracity of Aspen press releases as being somewhat less believable than assurances that the moon is made of green cheese, I find your false claims quite telling.

--- Quote from: "Dysfunction Junction" ---
--- Quote ---The emotional growth curriculum included but was not limited to sexual role play in front of staff and peers requiring students to say derogatory phrases about themselves in front of staff and peers requiring students to reenact past physical abuse in front of staff and peers permitting staff to engage in the usage of derogatory names phrases and ridicule of students and deprivation of sleep...
All students were required to participate...

This, among many other reasons, is why MBA was closed down. Just read the above passage, and if you're OK with it, then you ought to be strung up because it is blatant sexualized child abuse. That's a fact some here desperately want to avoid.

The DHS reacted on poor information. After the investigation they reversed their position.

Says you.
--- Quote --- A lot of things were said by DHS that they regret. Here is the latest article on MBA and a statement:

We don't know what the terms of the settlement were. It could very well be that Aspen Ed has agreed to suspend or disavow their "Lifesteps" and other violations found in the investigation.

BECAUSE THEY CLOSED DOWN AFTER ALL THE VIOLATIONS WERE BROUGHT TO LIGHT
