Education and Reeducation in
Ideological Organizations and their Implications for Children
Stephen A. Kent, Ph.D.
Abstract
This article attempts to identify commonalities among alternative religions and
other high-demand ideologies that explain why so many of these groups have
failed to keep their young “in the faith” as adults. I hypothesize that, in
conjunction with ongoing demands entailed in sectarian membership, the ways in
which these groups resocialize first-generation converts frequently make the
education of the second generation insufficient to ensure their loyalty into
their own child-bearing years.
