Quick and dirty solution
I never knew that LSD and PCP were, for a time, touted as wonder drugs, safe and effective if properly administered. Cocaine I knew about, but not those psychotropic drugs. Doesn’t it ring a bell?
The following video is very hard-hitting. There is a warning that it’s not for the faint of heart.
The video: “Psychiatry In Your Schools” contains footage and expert opinions by doctors and authorities on the cause of violence in our schools, if you have a child in a public school you need to spend the 12 minutes to watch the video.

On the one hand, there is pride in his having grown up enough to go out in “the world,” even if it is only to the assiduously controlled cocoon of an Episcopal school, three-and-a-half minutes by foot from our home.
On the other hand, once out in the world, the little mite will be exposed to the vagaries of the benighted educational-medical complex, which regards it as its business to label all our children as being sufferers of some disorder or other. This won’t happen at his church school, for sure–it’s much too sensible and old-fashioned for that–but my boy will move on, by the time he’s five, to another school, where the teachers, like most teachers of young children in this country, will be on ADD watch… Â Read more
