In this case it will at worst be teaching the <s>Dark</s> [[Grey and Grey Morality|Off-Grey]] [[The Dark Arts|Arts]] and fomenting [[Ambition Is Evil]] and [[Guile Hero]] in the student body. Speaking of which, expect it to have a near [[Asskicking Equals Authority|Darwinian social scene]] that makes most prisons seem like a [[Sugar Bowl]]. [[Alpha Bitch]] won't just badmouth you, she'll have her [[Girl Posse]] cut you up and sell you for parts to the [[Mad Scientist]]-in-training. |

* Xavier's School for Exceptionally Wayward Youth in ''X-Men Noir'' is a reform school... but Professor Xavier taught his students how to be better criminals rather than actually reforming them. He insists this was a ploy to gain their trust so they would gradually open up to him and therapy could begin in earnest. In reality, he was developing and studying them to prove his theory that sociopathy is the next stage of human behavioral evolution. |
