Is Will Smith Training Your Kids To Build An Army Of Evil Robots?

You know that school Will Smith opened up in Calabasas? The one people are saying is a big front to indoctrinate children into the ways of Scientology? Well, we here at Defamer hate to pass judgement without at least a tiny bit of research. That’s why I spent a few minutes skimming the new Village Academy’s website. Surprisingly, there were no classes called “Worshiping Overlord Xenu” or “Releasing Your Inner Engram.” But they do really stress building robots. In fact, the Educational Philosophy section of the site, mentions robots no less than 4 times!

“If a student is learning how to make a robot, he or she needs to see or touch the materials and computer right in front of him or her rather than just imagining how to make it.”

“If a teacher is showing a student how to make the robot and the student suddenly is confused, the teacher makes sure to go back to the place the student stopped understanding and re-teach that point.”

“In addition, NVA teachers make sure children understand the meanings of all of the words related to each lesson whether in math or in music, or as in the robot example – all of the words related to making the robot.”

“Similarly, if the student is learning how to program the robot and comes across a word that he is unfamiliar with, the student must look it up in the dictionary or have the word explained by a teacher.”

What the fuck is going on here? Has Will Smith learned nothing from starring in I, Robot? Here he is hell-bent on making these kids build robot after robot, yet he knows full well that they will rise up against humanity one day. Talk about irresponsible. I’d rather send my kid to the Scientology Celebrity Center!
