Rove the Fat White Pink Boy.
Excellent show. Interviewing head of ACLU, and David Brock of Media Matters, and author of book about "faith based" schools in Florida that abuse children.
Molly Barrows is the author.

A look at the Christian "faith-based" schools that operate in many Southern states with no government oversight.
Former students say they were abused -- even raped -- at these schools, which purport to practice "Biblical-style"
punishment. Mike talks with Molly Barrows, a reporter who investigated the schools for the ABC-TV affiliate in Pensacola.

(It brought to mind "The Magdalene Sisters" a movie based on a true story about this kind of abuse in Ireland. Took place in a convent that was for 'disobedient' girls.)
edited for more details.

1. Faith based anything has no oversight

that is only one of the problems with it. Bush is handing out our money to them, on his own, using his own bias, and we have no way of checking how it is being used.

I am not tuned in right now, but will try to get the stream.

2. Similar extremes in discipline have happened at "Christian"

schools in Missouri as well. I recall an incident in the late 1990s where a kid was severely disciplined, made to stand in mud or something equally icky. I tried to google the story but it's a few years old at least. I do recall the school claiming they were only following biblical precepts regarding discipline.
