Will Smith Backs Scientolo-School?

Will Smith gives money to Scientology school?Will Smith has dropped a bunch of money into opening up a new school in Calabasas, according to a report in the National Enquirer.

But we did a little digging, and the New Village Academy's website indicates that one of their models of learning is something called "Study Technology" -- a method created by none other than L. Ron Hubbard. The school also emphasizes the teaching of ethics and survival -- again, big topics in Scientology.

While Smith is not mentioned per se on the school's site, his reps did not deny his involvement. Instead, they gave TMZ the generic, "no comment", when questioned about his involvement in both the school and the Church.

So is he, or isn't he - a Scientologist, that is. According to Big Willy, he's not.

92. Ok peeps, I only need those with a good mind, and some intelligence to answer my question....What is so warong with Mr. Ron L. Hubbard? and what is wrong with scientology. I'm inquiring because I'm tired of these false religions and I need an outlet. If you know where I can buy Ron's book, please leave a link in your comment. I'm a good person, and I decided that I am originally muslim, being from the mother land of Africa and sold into slavery, and i'm also Baptist (christianity) was taught to me on the slave row. When I say me, I mean our ancestors. Therfore God is Allah, and I believe in his son Jesus who died for us. There is nothing wrong with these two prayers. I would like to further my human strength into more of a positive way of teaching the babies and those who did not get a chance to fulfill some of their backgrounds, instead of the lies that were forced or thrown towards them. Please just inform me on the good parts of scientology. Ok?
