The book titled "Psycho-Academic: The Special Education & ADHD Wars Against Black Boys" delves into various critical subjects, including the movement aimed at eliminating public education, the impact of Black language/Ebonics on the mis-education process, the manipulation of the mental health establishment through psycho-pharmaceutical control, the intentional mis-diagnosing of Black boys for economic gain, the implementation of mandatory high school graduation exams, and the prevalence of schoolhouse racism. This groundbreaking book offers readers an unprecedented glimpse into the inner workings of the special education system. It is also the first publication of the 21st century to comprehensively explore the four major disruptive behavior disorders (ADHD, CD, ODD, DBD-NOS) and highlight the flawed distinction between normal and abnormal behaviors in Black boys. With its accessible language and compelling narrative, "Psycho-Academic Holocaust" is accessible to a wide range of readers and deserves the attention of all concerned adults invested in the future of young Black males in America, England, Canada, and the Caribbean. Notably, one entire chapter is dedicated to equipping parents and teachers with effective strategies for managing challenging and disruptive behaviors without resorting to medication. Additionally, a chapter titled "Frequently Asked Questions" provides valuable information for African-American parents, youth workers, and advocates to combat psychiatric racism and educational disparities commonly experienced by African-American males. The author, a doctor of clinical psychology, certified school psychologist, and child therapist, brings 15 years of experience working with at-risk children of color to this work. As an expert educational diagnostician, Dr. Umar is focused on a mission to establish an independent residential school district for academically abused African-American boys and girls who have suffered within the confines of the American Public and Charter School System.
