> high school, I should have been informed about the connection. Absolute rubbish. If your *school* were Catholic and failed to identify itself as such, your example might be more relevant. As it stands, the religious preferences of the teachers at a school are not, in and of themselves, relevant to this point.

The issue is that the coS goes to a great deal of effort to set up front groups in other areas (such as CCHR) rather than own to the Scientology connection behind them, thereby setting a precedent for this sort of behaviour - now, we hear that a school in England has been told by the Independent Schools Advisory Service that they are to cease hiding their Scientology connection. Your attempt to paint this as anything other than an attempt to deceive is blatantly transparent.

OK, so you can probably show me an organisation chart that says that there is no connection between ABLE and the "Church", but they *are* all related organisations, if only by the diarrhetic outpourings of LRH himself.

I have heard (unsubstantiated) reports that the Scientology connection at at least one Scientology school *does* go further than a link with ABLE, and that is an area that I would be more interested in finding out more about. The revelation that Greenfields is attempting to hide its connections with Scientology merely piques my curiosity a little more.

And, I am afraid to say, nothing you have said has given me any cause to believe that there is not a connection between Scientology and (in particular) Greenfields School.
