Jesse Genet(@jessegenet):By these standards you’d also think that the average scouts troop or sports team is a cult too. But more importantly this article you are sharing is written with over the top hyperbole and all of the “evidence” presented is screenshots of student posts that the author, @benjaminjriley admits he never attempted to contact to even check if they agreed with his assertions, whether he had their permission to base his whole narrative on their words etc. it’s a classic pre determined narrative in search of facts instead of facts shaping a well informed narrative.
