I personally attended an ultra conservative school of about 70 pupils all grades accounted for, based on the ACE system (see http://leavingfundamentalism.wordpress.com for a decent introduction), and while I thankfully managed to escape that scene many years ago (extremely lucky circumstances outside of my own doing), I'm afraid I clearly recognise the vision the author describes. I desperately hope that they are wrong, but I can imagine it being spot on all too well. :( FWIW I too don't have contact with my parents mostly as a result of this, and the level of mental gymnastics in otherwise intelligent and sincere folks is jarring.
