Narconon Sending Ex-Drug Addicts into the Schools:

Narconon collected letters from teachers where Marhsall spoke, and webbed them. Now they're trying to cover their tracks by expurgating the letters. They've replaced most names by initials, and removed some school names and dates. See for yourself:

• Current letters page at www.addictionca.com/education.htm
• Original version recovered from www.valiumaddiction.com/drugletters.htm

Another interesting change they made was to replace the business name "Theta Art" with "Beautiful Artwork". (See the two versions of the June 12, 2002 letter from Wilson High School in East LA.) Why did they do this? "Theta" is a Scientology term, and "Theta Art" is a Scientology-affiliated business.
