While Scientology leader David Miscavige is evading process servers and trying to convince the federal government to keep its legislation out of his E-meters, he also has sneaky front groups to operate!
One that tends to fly under the radar is the generically named “Applied Scholastics” which tries to convince teachers that L. Ron Hubbard was an educational genius, and they offer free curricula to cash-strapped school districts as a way to start getting Hubbard’s influence to children without the schools even realizing what’s really going on. (All of Scientology’s front groups have only one aim: To prepare the rest of us unbelievers for the coming takeover of Scientology.)
And Scientology never gives up. So we thought you’d like to see these new notices from Scientology begging members to consider going to work for Applied Scholastics. Do they seem effective to you?

“The courses talk about problems people don’t even truly realize they have.”
Isn’t that Scientology in a nutshell? Only I would call it “problems people truly don’t have.”
So, hiring lots of staff. Just not any actual, ehrm, teachers. (No, "technical delivery" is not teaching.)
