‘I was just a teenager when I was pressured into a program I didn’t understand and wasn’t allowed to question’

A school district and a foundation launched by a late Hollywood director have been ordered to pay millions of dollars to students and their families for forcing their pagan religious beliefs on students.
It is the Chicago Board of Education and the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace that must pay $2.6 million after students, including a Christian and a Muslim, were forced to take part in a “ceremony” that participants charge invoked Hindu deities.
A report in the Washington Stand said the ruling came from a federal judge who confirmed 773 former Chicago students will be affected by the ruling.
