In Many Ways, Education Is Considered Evil

Knowledge is power, and if you’re running a possible cult, it’s probably pretty detrimental to give your following access to information that directly contradicts your core values and message (like the fact Warren Jeffs was never POTUS, but still claims to be). Most girls in the FLDS don’t make it past a ninth-grade education. In fact, Jeffs closed the only public school in their community for a whopping 13 years. Why? He thought the school was an “evil” influence. Kids must receive an education only from FLDS leaders, other members of the church or homeschooling. Something like attending a private college is absolutely unheard of.
