Description
James Demers has written one of the most important books of the last 30 years on children and their education.
Demers tells a gripping story from the point of view of a Catholic school teacher in the Sixties and Seventies.
He's angry, like all of us should be, at the planned time bombs that cleared the way for "values-free" programs in our schools. These programs uncoupled the child from the family by uncoupling sex from morality.
Pity the children of this new moral ice age. Demers calls them the children of winter.
How Did It Happen?
Demers freeze-frames the last 30 years in education and explains. And it's not pretty. But that's the point.
Children of Winter lifts a corner of the shroud giving a glimpse into a world of desolation. A world all but invisible to parents. Those same parents, you and I, are driven by love to keep our children healthy, happy and safe.
Children of Winter looks at that chilling world to which children have been exiled. Exiled by an education system organizing itself into meaningless political professionalism.
Educators are left asking why they exist. Students are left asking why they come to school.
A Moral Ice Age
Demers dispels all illusions about any quick arrest to the present decline. An entire generation of children have been exposed to the blistering winds now let loose. A moral ice age.
Innocence Lost?
Where is purity?
Where is innocence?
Where are today's children headed?
Into the deep freeze . . .
The children of winter.
Malachi Martin
One of the most widely published Catholic authors in the U.S. has penned the Afterword to this edition. Malachi Martin, as only he can, crowns Children of Winter with a final chapter of wit and wisdom.
About the Author
James Winston Demers is a broadcaster, teacher, and playwright with 25 years experience in education and the arts. He has produced an extensive array of youth programs on child abuse, gangs and drugs.
A regular on North American lecture circuits, he knows very well modern pressures on parents, educators and children alike.
Demers also authored the Canadian best selling The Last Roman Catholic?
Demers is an unabashed traditionalist. He makes no apology for his opinion that rejecting our roots is causing the world to go mad.
Taken from the inside flaps.
