A million thanks to everyone that's taken the time and effort to share their bad experiences with Jubilee Academy and their affiliates.
Were it not for this valuable input, I too would have fallen victim to their well-disguised scams. After prayerfully considering these numerous allegations, I thought it wisest to cancel our enrollment. However, I admit I was still uncertain as to whether or not I'd done the right thing. After all, one can't believe everything they read on-line. ; )
Thankfully, God in his infinite love worked it out so that I could be SURE that I'd made the right decision. Jubilee accidentally sent out the 3rd and 6th grade material I'd ordered, after I'd already cancelled, so I was able to examine their curriculum personally. What I discovered horrified me!!!
Please read the following in its entirety, as I have saved the worst for last.
Upon first opening the package, I noticed several of the books (all but one of which are paperback, BTW) were permanently bent from the poor packing job.
Next thing I noticed was that the very a-bridged version of Ben-Hur, for use with 6th grade English, had a 99 cents sticker on the cover! In addition, the 3rd grade English workbook was published in 1996 by Scholastic! Which in my opinion isn't even worth the 99 cents! The remainder consisted of an eclectic collection of worthless, over generalized, dollar store -type materials, riddled with typographical errors and out-of -date information.
But the most disturbing discovery was of a book written by Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor, titled, The Greatest Story Ever Sold-A considered and Whimsical Illumination of the Really Good Parts of Holy Writ. Besides, the obvious inappropriate title, the dedication to Oprah Winfrey inside the cover, alerted me to investigate further.
This piece of trash was nothing but a complete mockery of our perfect Lord and Savior, and everything His Holy Word stands for. I was absolutely sickened by the content, its vulgarity, and r-rated nature. Even a non-Christian parent would never want their 3rd grader (or any age child for that matter), to be exposed to such vile, indecent, and adult content!
Obviously, I am grateful that our family was spared from the nightmare of this sad excuse of a curriculum. But I felt it my obligation as a Christian and a concerned parent to expose this insincere organization to as many consumers as possible. I am convinced that Mimi Rothschild is not the Christian she claims to be, but that her many aliases, companies, and web-sites are all designed to cover up her true evil intentions of destroying our precious children's beliefs while under the disguise of a Christian education. I pray that she and anyone else involved in her scheming institutions will repent and turn to our merciful Lord and Savior for forgiveness.
If you are reading this, and still have doubts of your own, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE research the facts thoroughly and ask God for guidance before making the mistake of supporting this dangerously deceptive scheme.
P.S. Feel free to contact me if you'd like additional detailed information.
