There’s just no way this alternative school can be viewed with anything other than contempt and suspicion even before this would have come to light. I hope it’s not government funded because the idea of the government endorsing this as the gateway and representative for life on this side of the divide would certainly be a bad look, but even if it’s independent, defectors are given a stipend when they start their new lives in the South, and they don’t usually have any experience with a capitalist system making them vulnerable to hucksters and scams. The idea of this “school” run by religious weirdos supposedly possessing the means to teach others how to interact in a liberal democracy would be difficult to believe on its face and lo and behold it’s a bunch of a kiddy fiddler’s looking for victims. I cannot imagine falling prey to these bastards after escaping such degradation and hardship to begin with.
