In the early 1970s, legislation was enacted to ensure disabled students could attend school. Before the 1970s, many mentally retarded children, children with Down’s Syndrome or physically disabled children stayed home with parents - or worse - were locked in sanitariums where they lived out their lives. The programs developed to assist these children fell under the heading of “special education”. Millions of disabled children have gained an education through these programs. However, they have been hijacked.

As the years passed, more and more men decided not to pursue teaching as a profession. The men who are left behind in educational jobs are the most emasculated and/or gay men. Education is a woman’s field - and that is depressing in itself. The women in education started realizing their ideals of feminism could be introduced. Boys could be molded into girls, aggressive behavior could be drugged away. As an educational psychologist in the early 1990s, 95% of my referrals were from female teachers wanting certain boys drugged and put in special classes. I went to countless meetings with parents and teachers. The mothers and teachers would scream at me to put a label of “emotionally disturbed” on boys, so the mothers could get a $300 check from SSI while the school paid for Ritalin. Mom was happy, school was happy. I was very unhappy. I always said NO to the “emotionally disturbed” label. Most of the boys I spoke with weren’t disturbed, they just despised the anti-male atmosphere of every class. They were acting up because that is what boys do.

When I finally left that career, I spent the last three months poring over old files and taking the “emotionally disturbed” label off dozens of boys who didn’t need that label on them for the rest of their lives. Still, my female coworkers were slapping the label on boys as fast as they could.

For those of you who are politically active, you might want to look into just exactly why federal funds for special education are growing exponentially every year - it is because your tax dollars are being used to feminize men and drug them into conformity. Your tax dollars are being used to force men to behave a certain way, and to have them labelled as mentally ill if they don’t conform. It is nothing short of Stalinism. Only homeschooling and private schools will stop this insanity. The public schools are locked into the anti-male crusade and will never relent. It doesn’t mean you have to put your children in them. There are always other options.
