Review # 1 was written on 2019-07-25 00:00:00 Jon Jensen It should be noted that a prominent psychiatrist, Dr.Robert John, strongly believes, based on his own study, a theme that another educator, Dr. Philip Glidden, echoed in his own book, Trading on Guilt: Holocaust Education in the Public Schools; namely, that “Holocaust studies” in the public schools are contributing to violence among young people by desensitizing them to violence through the constant display of images of violence.This alone should be reason to outlaw the teaching of Holocaust studies in the public schools. Michael Collins Piper *** Most responsible parents limit their children’s television time program selection to avoid violence and other objectionable scenes. These same parents entrust their children to the public school system and expect school officials to act judiciously in their choice of acceptable, age appropriate curriculum. Exposing children to Holocaust education in a “systematic, controlled environment for propagandizing” is not traditional teaching but is essentially indoctrination which may produce various phobias in children, not just young children, because of the trauma associated with learning about violence and death. * These phobias might include the following, 1) Identification with the victims which is especially true when teachers invite Holocaust victims who describe genocidal details which may evoke immediate sympathy; 2) Children may experience nightmares after viewing emaciated cadavers; 3) Students may experience depression after seeing scenes of death; 4) Students may develop psychological disorders and engage in guilty self-reproach. * When teachers implant materials produced and distributed by the Jewish-run USHMM into the minds of young children, those children identify with and develop guilt and sympathy exclusively for this one group of people out of the millions that perished during World War II. Freud promoted the idea of behavioral modification and social conditioning through the educational process. Researchers maintain that teaching about the Holocaust is necessary to institute a feeling of altruism among children. In Florida, one sponsor of the bill to teach that topic stated “the Holocaust must be taught… for the sake of humanity.” * * Philip E. Glidden, Trading on Guilt, Holocaust Education in the Public Schools from the book The Ruling Elite: Death, Destruction, and Domination by Deanna Spingola

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-18 00:00:00 Shawn Poland Jean Little as done it to me again. She has taken my heart, and poured her magnificant words all over it. I love it. Everytime I finish one of her books, I get the feeling that it shouldn't be over, but it is, and that makes me happy. It's one of those feelings where you can't believe it's over, and you're heart is just racing and you loved it, and just want to flip back to the beginning and read it all again. In her autobiography, to me, Jean Little expresses the struggles of being a child, along with being "crossed-eyed" and different than everyone else. And as a child, when you're going through that, you think you should just dissappear, but the thing is: You shouldn't. Jean Little didn't, and she was called named from the time she started elementary school, until the end. It's amazing, that from all the teasing and ridecule, she got out, and she is one of the BEST canadian writers I know. Hurrah for Jean Little!
