DUNEDIN — When Hanan Islam and her management company took control of the struggling Life Force Arts and Technology charter school here last summer, she passed out lesson plans based on the work of Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

She said Hubbard's "study technology" would enlighten children and help save the school.

But grades from Florida's standardized FCAT test released Thursday show that, in one year under Islam's management, Life Force students' education suffered.

...

On its last day, June 7, Life Force will become the first Pinellas school to be forcefully closed by a revoked charter. The approximately 50 remaining students, down from nearly 100 in August, will move to nearby public and charter schools.

It is a long slow lesson for some to learn, but, scientology does NOT work. It just doesn't.

The sooner it is laughed out of existence, the better for all mankind.

Poor kids :(

Stupid-assed school admins should have done their homework and realised that a psychotic, conniving, drop-out, con-artist like Hubbard is hardly the person to be refferenced regarding the education of anyone let alone young minds, and the school board should be demanding, through the courts and gov't agencies, every dime given to Islam and her retarded crew~ I'd frikken jail the bunch of them.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
