36. Rachel Academy for Girls

I have previous mentioned Reclamation Ranch which was raided by the police. They found shackles meant for the students. Not far from Reclamation Ranch this ranch called Rachel Academy for Girls was placed. It was run by the same owner.

It seems that the Academy is closed and to call it an Aacademy must be the an overstatement.

They taught the ACE curriculum. Here the Department of education judged that it wasn’t good enough for the students of today, so I doubt that the department of education in Alabama would allow it for their students.
