I'm already upset enough! I suspect that reading this would put me over the
edge.

Hi all,
Pasted below my name, find the description of a truly scary book. No, I've
not read it yet, but I saw a documentary film on the hel whole described in
the book which is on Bookshare.
These idiotic evangelical parents are sending kids they see as wayward to a
bootcamp style school in the Caribbean. In the film, they showed kids who
were there just because they were gay. They were supposed to get converted.

by
Julia Scheeres
