Modified the lede to include difference between Aesthetic Realism and other approaches to mind and to include the Chairman of Education. Made the definition of Aesthetic Realism exact (as described by founder) and less informal.
Per comment below by Outerlimits, I clarified the explanation of Aesthetic Realism in relation to poetry, philosophy, and classes but did not touch the section on homosexuality. Lore E. Mariano ( talk) 13:26, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
As others have noted this article does not seem to be neutral. Every claim opposed to this group and its ideas appears to be refuted rather than left as neutral. mnewmanqc ( talk) 03:04, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
I have modified the lead a bit for clarity and placed some of the detailed explanations there under the Philosophy section. I hope the edit improved the introduction. I have also added some info and their corresponding sources. Feel free to modify the changes made to improve the article further. If you have a question, please send me a message. Thanks.

Trouver, at present there are two users, Outerlimits and myself, who prefer the wording that was added here. You have reverted this wording multiple times now ( here, here, and here), despite the fact that no editor other than you has indicated support for the older version. Please stop. For obvious reasons, a two-against-one situation is not one in which you should continue reverting. None of the reasons you have given for restoring the older wording are convincing. To say that, "The change from homosexuality is well-documented", is irrelevant, because the issue is not whether the claim in question is correct but only how to describe it. To say that, "This is how the change is expressed by the men and women who have experienced it... Those who have not experienced it have no right to distort their words", is not persuasive. The material is not a direct quotation. Freeknowledgecreator ( talk) 19:24, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
Users have been arguing over whether the wording should be "changed from homosexuality to homosexuality" or "homosexual men became heterosexual", but both are too wordy. I changed it to the plain "stopped being gay". Also, the second wording didn't include women, but I included them in my rewrite. Also, the old wording said that the controversy was "in the 1980s", but it actually started in the 1970s and hasn't stopped. A newspaper called AR an "anti-gay cult" in 2008. Finally, ARists try to whitewash this by emphasizing that they discontinued the gay-change program, suggesting that they no longer believe the gay-change ability of AR, but in fact they do believe it, they just don't teach it any more, so I included that bit. If ARists keep on whitewashing the article, it'll backfire on them when they're faced with the whole article being rewritten from scratch. MichaelBluejay ( talk) 13:00, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
The guidance at MOS:MOVEMENT indicates that "aesthetic realism" should not be capitalized, and I wonder if any editors will deep familiarity with this page know if there was a deviation from that standard with intention or not. ~ T P W 17:51, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
