We recently had a speaker from Narconon give an assembly program for our high school students. Is there any danger in this? I didn't realize he was a Narconon spokesman until after the event had passed.

Narconon is linked to Scientology and based upon the teachings of its founder L. Ron Hubbard.

The spokesperson at your school was probably a Scientologist.

Hubbard's theory that drugs and toxins are held within body fat for an indefinite period of time has been disproven.

Nevertheless this false claim remains a pinciple teaching of Narconon because faith in Hubbard is apparently more important than facts to Scientologists.

Hi jsllim,

If you're are staff or faculty at this high school (sounds like you are from the context), you might consider acquiring the DVD referenced here: [www.culteducation.com], and making a presentation out of it for the students who were exposed to the scientologist.

Setting the scientology exposure in this incident aside, I have that DVD and I think that it would be an excellent presentation to show all high school seniors shortly before graduation. Senior high school represents a true, perhaps last chance to do some cult education before the kids come of correct age to be wholeheartedly targeted for cult recruitment (18 - 24 years old, often college kids). The DVD costs almost nothing so you might give it a try.
