Will Smith: I am not a Scientologist

Will Smith: On this past Monday September 8th, actor
Will Smith met with members of Anonymous outside of New Village Leadership Academy, the private school he founded with his wife
Jada Pinkett-Smith.
"I am not a Scientologist,"
Smith told Anonymous in response to concerns that his new school would be used as an indoctrination tool for the Church of Scientology.
Smith's alleged involvement in Scientology was fueled by his public friendship with actor
Tom Cruise and the couple's large donations to Scientology-based charities such as the Hollywood Education and Literacy Project.
Smith has refuted any claims of participation in either Auditing or Purification, both critical components of Scientology.
According to Anonymous,
Smith went on to explain that, while he has witnessed impressive results from Study Tech within his own family, he
Will not allow his school to be used as a conduit or tool for Scientology.
"If Scientologists or anybody tells me how to run my school, I'll just do this," he laughed, making an elbowing gesture. The actor began using the Study Tech methods for home schooling his children and has worked with faculty members to adapt those methods for use at NVLA.
