But this is actual misrepresentation. They advertised it was to help underprivileged youth all over the country. That is not what they are doing. They are a defacto religious organization, giving religious assistance only to one specific religion.

Nothing wrong with that but why were they hiding that fact, Literally for decades? People were giving to a charity in which they thought they were doing one thing but it was actually doing something very different.
