Exposing
the Cradle-to-Prison-Pipeline Industry, its design
and aims: Finding creative solutions to dismantle it.
To
expose the design, modus operandi, and control mechanisms of the Cradle-to-Prison Industry. To make and analysis based on Race and Class,
and any other perspective in order to understand its aims and
inter-relationship among its different components.
Among the
components that we will question are:
Public Schooling to
dumb down the masses and train them to serve their masters
Special
Ed classes to destroy the natural elite of people of color.
The
forced drugging of bright children with Ritalin and Concerta
to produce chemical lobotomy.
Child Protective
Services (CPS) as the Greatest Child Abuser and a weapon to terrorize poor
people.
Foster Care as
Slavery.
No-Knock warrants
as a weapon to terrorize poor people.
The
criminalization of youth of color under any ridiculous excuse.
Juvenile
Justice System to prepare them for the Prison System.
Racists
Drug laws.
Racists
Mandatory Sentencing laws.
Racist
Prison System.
The
predatory practices of the Adult Protective Services (APS) and its impact on
poor people.
The
role of the Social Workers, Psychologists, and Psychiatrists as Gatekeepers for
the design.
The
involuntary inprisoning, drugging and torture of
people in Psychiatric Hospitals.
The
role of the Family Court Judges, Law Guardians and most attorneys in giving
this racketeering enterprise an aura of legality.
The
ignoring of the Bill of Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by
the State when dealing with poor people.
We had a similar
workshop at the New York City Social Forum in October 2004. See
http://www.parentsinaction.net/english/nyc-sf-10-28-04.htm
We have learnt much
since.
We would like to
collaborate with other organizations that have similar points of view to make
this workshop a success.
We are aware that although in New York City the design to produce Maximun Social Harm, is applied almost exclusively on Blacks and Latinos who happen to be poor, in other parts of the country where there are no Blacks or Latinos, the same blueprint is used by the local warlords with Whites who are poor. At the lower level the design is driven by the profit motive which fits perfectly with the low consciousness of most of its workers; at a higher level is a sophisticated multi-level, multi-pronged Social Engineered Design to mantain the present status quo and the privileged position of power of certain groups.
