Schools free from Scientology - 2009-11-24
THERE was no evidence of Church of Scientology material distributed at Gladstone state schools, executive director for schools, Central Coast District Dave Manttan said yesterday.
The Church of Scientology has hit the headlines with the revelation that a group sponsored by the church has been targeting children in schools across Australia.
The New South Wales Government has ordered principals not to distribute material funded by the church which likens the views of the founder, science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, to those of other 20th century leaders.
