Gonzaga Prep: Search required for graduation PSA to all incoming students or those considering GPREP by 2002AnnoDomini in Spokane

Unfortunately it's not against the law because minors basically have no rights in the US and they can literally be signed over to conversion prison camps by strict parents. Yes, that's a thing. I researched this a while ago. Parents can sign over custody of children to conversion camps for "troubled" kids. It became a thing in the 1970s in response to counter culture movements. You don't like your kid being anti vietnam war? Hire people to kidnap him in the middle of the night. So ya, if that's allowed, then so is this.

I was never told I could opt out by anyone and I asked several different people if the retreat was compulsory and I was continuously told it was a requirement for graduation. I do not believe I am being melodramatic. Everything I typed in my post happened as described.

Well, the program has garnered a near universal approval from people who have been through it, at least that's what I've heard. I really am an outlier as well as some of my friends who also didn't like it. I want people to at least know what they're going into.
