Education is one of the most controversial subjects in the United States and perhaps in the world. The bulk of a child’s life is spent in public or private schools or, for some, in home schooling.

In fact, objectively speaking, none of these extremist labels apply to him. Just the opposite actually. He never was asked whether or not he wanted to be a Scientologist. At the time of his death, he was a former Sea Org member, he was a son, he was a husband and he was my friend. His name was Alexander Jentzsch and this is his tragic story.Read More »Alexander Jentzsch: A Scientology Tragedy in 3 Acts
