As much as one may be tempted to joke about this, I believe it is of concern. This is a new development. This is the first I've heard of the COS specifically hiring teachers NOT for Applied Scholastics schools (which are ostensibly secular, though we know they are not), but for an actual Church of Scientology. It looks like the COS may be developing or piloting a specifically religious school inside a church.
Why would they do that? Is there some advantage under state law? Some exemptions or exceptions from otherwise applicable requirements? To be protected by the First Amendment? To take advantage of
a recent Supreme Court decision previously discussed here?
