Abstract:
This book contends there is a persecution of joy occurring in our midst. It is a slow predictable descent. American institutions such as social services, schools and courts are complicit in this decline. Authority in our nation has become increasingly harsh and intolerant. Orwellian policies and their inevitable sanctions are crippling our youth and society. The intentional goal at hand is no less than slavery. Written from the perspective of a social worker and teacher caught on the wrong side of his profession; Richard Joy illuminates the issues with real stories witnessed during his career and within his family.
