Psycho-Academic Holocaust: The Special Education & ADHD Wars Against Black Boys
It’s the most anticipated book release in recent memory, from critically acclaimed & highly controversial educational diagnostician, Dr. Umar Johnson. The “Psycho-Academic Holocaust: The Special Education & ADHD Wars Against Black Boys” is going to educate the community regarding the specific tactics used to marginalize African-American boys via learning disability and disruptive behavior disorder diagnoses.
Many of the questions that the community has been asking for the past 38 years, since the federal government approved PL-94-142 “The Education for All Handicapped Children Act” in 1975, will be answered by Dr. Umar, candidly and honestly.
Devoid of much of the technical jargon that so many “experts” use when discussing the plight of Black boys, Dr.Umar will give articulate, but very direct, answers to help you master the mis-education machine. Why are so many of our boys prescribed dangerous psychotropic medications? Why are so many of our boys diagnosed with mild mental retardation? Most importantly, what can be done about this epidemic?

Must read for parents of young black males
December 2, 2020
This book was not suggested to me in the traditional manner, it is not listed on any list or won any awards but it is one of the best books that I have read regarding special education and black boys.
The book was a true account of special education and how to navigate public education. The book is a good how-to guide. It provided examples of scenarios and highlighted what a parent should do should a parent disagree with the school or if special education services are not provided. The book takes a deep look at the climate and culture of special education. The book is independently published. I liked how the book was categorized, it takes parents thru the process of special education from referral to IEP to annual IEP, to the evaluation process, it also includes how to request an independent evaluation. There was also a section on behavior modification without the use of medication.
I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to black parents all across America.

Dr. Umar gets the diagnosis right, and even the treatment for the problems that plague the American educational system right, but the reason for the problems themselves wrong. If only it were as simple as everything is the white man's fault just by virtue of his supposed insecurities and bigoted tendencies. No, the Carnegies, Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and every other industrialist/banking family that had a role in birthing the educational system as we know it wanted nothing to do with a critically thinking, independent population of people capable of competing with them in any shade. Thus why you don't learn too much of anything of actual importance in school, simply how to correctly recite their story given back on paper.
He is right about the Cocaine Import Agency, as he calls it (CIA) and FBI cointel programs deliberately crippling black America through illicit drugs creating fatherless homes, and legal psychiatric drugs for the boys in order to create lifelong slaves to the state, and school serving as the boot camp for their assured lives in the joint/psych ward.
He provides great detail on how to protect your child from all the methods that schools will use to derail your child's life, the strong arm tactics they will use to intimidate you to unnecessarily medicate based on diagnoses in all actuality that probably don't exist, and the names and effects of said dangerous drugs.
Umar strikes me as belonging to any one of the divine nine fraternities, or Prince Hall Freemasonry, just based on his belief that almost everyone of virtue in history was black, and his new age desire to connect with the ancestral spirits of old, so you really can't expect to fully harmonize with the Truth in a way that an author of an Orthodox Christian persuasion would, had they written a similar book, black or white. It's a good book overall, and a valuable resource for combating the lies and manipulatiom of modern education .
