Jenny McCarthy to close Teach2Talk Academy

Jenny McCarthy And Jim Carrey Host Green Our Vaccines Press Conference

As previously reported by Starcasm, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy have called it quits after five years as a couple.  Everything about the split seems kind and mutual but now that McCarthy is no longer connected with Carrey’s purse strings it looks like her passion, the Teach2Talk Academy, is going to fold its tents.

McCarthy has long been a provocative figure in the discussion over autism.  She believes that she has healed her son Evan of the disease and that immunization shots were the cause of his disease.  For quite some time she has launched a full frontal assault against what she considers the over vaccination of American children.  This issue is a highly controversial one with people on fire from both sides in regards to her claims.  McCarthy’s latest book about this issue is called Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism.

Here is a clip from the TV show The Doctors where there is a heated argument in regards to McCarthy’s position.

The reason given for the closing is a disagreement in vision between co-founders McCarthy and Dr. Sarah Scheflen.  In comments provided to HollywoodLife Jenny McCarthy’s rep stated:

“Jenny and her partner at the Academy, Sarah Scheflen, had different visions for the school and made a decision to go their separate ways. Both intend to continue on in this important mission. Sarah and Jenny really enjoyed their time working at the Academy and feel honored that they were able to provide such high quality early intervention services to so many children with autism and other developmental disabilities”
