Suri Cruise turns three years old on Saturday.
So, what do Tom and Katie get the kid that has everything? Admission into the Church of Scientology’s New Village Academy!
Reportedly, the tyke is set to start classes there five days a week.
The school is located in Calabasas, California and actually funded by Will Smith. Its curriculum includes: mathematics, literacy, Spanish, karate, yoga, robotics, technology, etiquette, art, and living skills.
Doesn't sound so bad, right? Yes, it does, according to David S. Touretzky, Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.
He's been critical of the school's use of "study technology," telling The Los Angeles Times last year:
"There is no reputable educator anywhere who endorses [study technology]. What happens is that children are inculcated with Scientology jargon and are led to regard L.R. Hubbard as an authority figure. They are laying the groundwork for later bringing people into Scientology."
So it's considered to be a quasi brain-washing facility? No way Tom Cruise would be open to something like that!

How dare the Cruises send Suri to a school where she will be brainwashed into learning Scientology jargon and be led to revere L. Ron Hubbard.
They should have put Suri into a Christian school instead where there is jargon, no reverence for anyone, and no brainwashing.

Excuse me but Richard who are you to tell them they need to put her in Christian School? That's kind of a double standard to me, they don't believe in Christianity just as you don't believe in Scientology. It's their religion, I personally think Christianity is horrible and brainwashing just as Scientology is. I'm glad I follow no religion!
