We contacted Alderman Brad Moore of Benton, Arkansas to find out why they passed an ordinance in 2009, to disassociate themselves from Yisrayl Hawkins, Benjamin Crouse founder of The Character Connection, and David Knighten a representative of The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program. Deacon David Knighten presented the program to the City of Benton, without providing much detail of it’s background. Alderman Moore investigated to find out who Yisrayl Hawkins and Benjamin Crouse were, and after examining the information, he saw through the con game of Yisrayl Hawkins! On May 18, 2009 the City of Benton, Arkansas cut all ties with Yisrayl Hawkins and his deceptive representatives, by passing a city ordinance directing David Knighten, the PSCEP, Benjamin Crouse, and Yisrayl Hawkins, to not use the City of Benton in any connection with their character education program!
Alderman Moore said that after this ordinance was passed, David Knighten attempted to to slander, Alderman Moore, and other city officials. In his anger, he recorded a slanderous video attempting to make the Alderman and other officials look bad. He then had the video distributed and played on the local Benton cable access t.v. station. This is David Knighten’s way to practice what he calls “peace.” Of course Alderman Moore had the video removed! Should any wish to check out this story, Mr. Moore can be reached at the City of Benton, Arkansas where he still serves as an Alderman. Here is a link to the article about the ordinance they passed.

I think this information reflects on the true character of the PSCEP leading directors, Yisrayl Hawkins, and his representatives. The whole program is nothing more than a front, to bring more members into the House of Yahweh, using secular programming to get their attention. The program claims to be non-religious, but this is the lie behind the program. If you go to the link on this site about the Peaceful Solution, you will find the truth behind the origins of this program! Alderman Moore, and the City of Benton, Arkansas realized the lies, through a little investigation of their own, and cut ties with this deceptive program and its representatives! So Yisrayl Hawkins, why doesn’t your peaceful solution work in Benton, Arkansas? You state it will prevent and stop any conflict? I guess it didn’t work for the good people of Arkansas, who are more intelligent than you give them credit, and saw through your deception!
