WALKING TARGETS: How Our Psychologized Classrooms Are Producing a Nation of Sitting Ducks

Kensington, MD - Walking Targets exposes how the greatest coup of the millennium came off without firing a shot. Professional agitators-cum-educators have wrested control from a population still committed to the nation's founding principles and family values, by stigmatizing their values as "inflexible" and "dogmatic," and labeling their children as mentally ill.

Beverly K. Eakman, award-winning author of the watershed classic on education policy, Cloning of the American Mind (1998), updates and augments her three previous three texts. She shows how, under the cover of educational and mental-health testing, computer technologies popularly believed to be restricted to use in defense of our country have been redirected for use in tracking the opinions of schoolchildren from the earliest years. She shows how psychographic techniques, once confined to market research, have been retooled for data-mining purposes.

"In this anthology of my columns, lectures and feature articles, I expose the tactics of professional agitators-cum-educators; detail the latest advances in microchip implants (including who's buying them); disclose current uses of computerized cross-matching, tracking and monitoring; and clarify experts' justifications for invasive psychological profiling of persons having no criminal record, beginning with schoolchildren." stated Mrs. Eakman.

Eakman has a habit of being on target. For example, in 2002 she wrote that the then-new military ID chip would morph into a national prototype that provides links to various computerized databases and tracking devices, a prediction that has since been confirmed in mainstream newspapers.
