To think a 'college' where physical assault and rape are common should not be rated 'outstanding'.

The army recruits 16 year olds for training in combat roles, and they do their initial training in a place called the 'Army Foundation College' in Harrogate. It has an 'Outstanding' rating from Ofsted for its welfare provisions. It also has staff who bully, physically assault and rape students. I know people who went to the 'college' and the things they told me are identical to what is in these articles:

It makes me so furious that the army recruits vulnerable teenagers into really dangerous roles, treats them like absolute shit, bans them from speaking out, and dresses it all up to parents in the recruitment brochures like some kind of fancy private boarding school. Please don't fall for this crap.

So, AIBU to think AFC Harrogate should be shut down immediately?
