If they include/require this literature, I hope they're first on the horizon for the great chastisement and that it's a slow, painful, excruciating death followed by eternal agony via personally-assigned vengeful demons. And if the "most successful professionals" are in turn subjecting their progeny to this demonic rubbish, same to them.
Exposure to the “dark side” to prepare to refute it is NOT, IMHO, a bad idea.
