Lose-Lose for Youth Rights

Forest Grove V. TA

Recently, the Supreme Court heard a case in which nothing good could come. I think either way the court ruled, someone was losing out and it would impact CAFETY in a negative way.

Brief summary, child was not doing well at school and had behavioral issues. Parents sent child to Mount Bachelor Academy and the School District did not want to reimburse the parents for tuition fees.

If the district won, then every child with behavioral/mental issues would have to attend special ed classes before they could get tuition reimbursement for external schooling. If the parents won, then it is acceptable to use taxpayer dollars to send a child to a school where the following is acceptable: "students say staff members of the residential program have instructed girls, some of whom say they have been victims of rape or sexual abuse, to dress in provocative clothing — fishnet stockings, high heels and miniskirts — and perform lap dances for male students as therapy."

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of the parents. So, citizens of Oregon, your taxpayer dollars are going towards a facility which believes re-creating the circumstances of sexual assault for victims is an acceptable method of therapy.

I have a connection to Mount Bachelor Academy, they use the Lifespring training model, the same I experienced at Casa by the Sea. I know what that place did to me. Lifespring is not Special Ed, it is Special Dead. A method of brainwashing to chomp away at a person's soul and replace it with a shell, programmed to respond a certain way to external stimuli. Their goal is to create more minions to spread the gospel according to Lifespring. I have seen hundreds of people walking around as this Lifespring Zombie, preaching the seminars as the only way of life.

  1. You are absolutely correct: the case was a no-win situation, and the new legal precedent is as well.

    No student should be subjected to the known risks and dangers of a residential treatment facility, especially under the guise of special education. This was an atrocity of justice.

    Keep up your advocacy efforts - you are on right track!
