In response to Darrell Ehrlick’s column, “Physical Therapy and Human Rights” Sunday, March 18th, I went online to view the video, which looks and sounds good.However, I’m always suspicious of anything that is a formula for changing the world so I checked out the Director Tim Bowles, and the President of Youth for Human Rights, MaryShuttleworth, their background and their beliefs to learn that both had learned of L. Ron Hubbard’s methodology and had became a part of the Church of Scientology.“Because scientology is a practical religion and a body of technology that is used to improve conditions in life, people tell others about it,” says Susan Watson, president of Scientology Celebrity Center International.Shuttleworth states, “If we want to change society, we need to start with the children.” If anyone is interested, look online at the central tenets of the Scientology beliefs. Tom Cruise is one of the believers.The videos, the music, the graphics are well done but if the focus is on “our rights,” where do children learn responsibility and obligations in becoming part of this human race?I think anyone buying into this well done piece of marketing should check out where it came from and where it will lead.In raising our children, we need to be wise as serpents and guileless as doves.To view the videos go to www.winonadailynews.com and click on “Youth for Human Rights” under Eye Witness, or go directly to www.winonadailynews.com/videos/psa.
