In The Atlanta Child Murders: Their Message Today About Education, Politics, and Race Relations, Dr. John Liebert and Dr. Felecia Nace examine the vulnerability of the victims of the Atlanta Child Murders by peeling back the layers of poverty many of the children endured. The book compares the vulnerability of the child victims forty years ago to the predatory behavior we witness in schools today by pharmaceutical, corporate, and political entities that leave children in K-12 schools defenseless against agenda-driven instruction. Liebert and Nace rewind the clock to the late 1970s through early 1980s to understand the type of predatory culture Atlanta children suffered during the time of the murders-something Atlanta politicians and police didn't disclose to the public. Dr. Liebert walked the beat of inner-city Atlanta while the child killings were escalating. He understands, firsthand, the circumstances in which these victims lived. This book takes a hard look at the media's role in stoking racial tension during the Atlanta Child Murders as well as during the recent George Floyd murder in 2020. This book explores how social justice lessons and LGBTQIA curriculum in K-12 schools seek to indoctrinate children rather than teach them the solid academic skills they need to rise above their circumstances.

In today’s education climate, parents, teachers and school leaders are often confused about the direction of education and what and how children are learning. For anyone interested in the minefields that young people navigate in schools today, this book exposes the ills, questions the status quo, engages the reader in a common-sense way, and provides solutions to the confusion created in schools. The culmination of over exposure of young children to Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA) topics, the banning of religion in schools, and the runaway train of illegal immigration creates confusion that won’t soon pass. In addition, the trend for politicians to appoint superintendents of schools, commissioners of education (at state and federal levels), and other education leaders who do not have experience or formal training in education is confusing and disturbing. Would anyone visit a doctor who was not experienced in medicine? It’s not likely. There are gray areas in schools that are becoming standard practice. This top—down confusion leads everyone to ask the question: Is Gray the New Pink in Education?

Massaging the Mindset: An Intelligent Approach to Systemic Change in Education is a must read. Massaging the mindsets of staff is a great way to lay a foundation for change in school systems. If educational leaders desire swift collective changes to occur in today’s schools, they must approach change differently. The reader becomes immersed in a journey of the mind and other human elements that school and district leaders need to take into account in order to facilitate smooth transitions. This book examines the psychology behind systemic change. School leaders will be equipped to view change from a perspective that has rarely been acknowledged. The reader will begin to see change as a process, and will understand the steps needed to attain targeted goals. School leaders will also understand that before any specific changes can take shape in a school system, leaders must first develop change skill sets in staff. Then, and only then will change become a part of school culture. Once this takes place, moving initiatives forward becomes a systemic effort, and administrators will find they have less time management issues as they can then spend more time focused on being a true instructional leader. ·School leaders will understand how to Lay a foundation for change ·This work includes tips for how to massage the mindset of employees ·Leaders will view change as a process ·School leaders will understand and view change as a learned behavior ·School and District leaders will be able to foster change skill sets in staff ·School leaders will view all employees as core staff ·Schools will have a good understanding what systemic change looks like
