Brett Harper - Exposing Agape Boarding School

Brett Harper - Exposing Agape Boarding School
Dec 12, 2022

Brett Harper is a survivor of the Agape Boarding School system. The
story he tells Ed Opperman is as unbelievable as it is cruel. But
he is not alone to cast allegations at this establishment. Such is
his fury at his and others’ treatment at the school, he has written
a book, not only detailing his own experience, but those of his
peers.

Spare the Rod is a troubling look into the abusive and terribly
under-regulated troubled teen industry; a shadowy network of
private juvenile prisons, therapeutic boarding schools, group
homes, wilderness camps, boot camps, conversion therapy centers,
boarding schools, rehabs, etc. Thousands of kids are abused each
year and many of them suffer in silence. Some sustain life-long
injuries and struggle with things like trauma, PTSD, CPTSD,
depression, anxiety, abandonment, nightly night terrors, chronic
pain and more! Their ability to form healthy relationships is
forever impacted and often their connection to the family that sent
them away completely severed. You might think this can't happen in
the U.S.! Oh yes it can! Oh yes it does! Authoritarian fascists who
believe in tough love and forcing teens to assimilate to their
culture and morals is nothing new. It's been going on for hundreds
of years!
