Most likely the FIRST TIME the kids ever had to behave, or else. Other than 4,950 of the past 5,000 years of recorded history, this approach is TOTALLY OUTDATED.

To keep order, Agapé instituted a military-like hierarchy, indicated by colored shirts that denoted ranks. The fastest way for a student to attain a coveted burgundy or red shirt, Breshears soon learned, was to embrace the Lord and help Brother Bryan — Bryan Clemensen, the school’s co-founder and eventual director and principal — enforce the rules. That meant calling out and even disciplining classmates for infractions like cursing, talking in line, refusing to pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, or talking about their pasts.

Surely the Rolling Stone thinks that at least cursing is fine, though it accompanies disrespect. And the context indeed is not being considered. It is not easy to deal with such youth.
