In B. K. Eakman's new book, Walking Targets:How Our Psychologized
Classrooms Are Producing a Nation of Sitting Ducks readers learn how
educators are driving a wedge between parents and their children.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT

Washington, DC, January, 2008 - Just released, Walking Targets: How
Our Psychologized Classrooms Are Producing a Nation of Sitting Ducks
is B. K. Eakman's latest exposé of our educational system. This is a
wake-up call for parents and educators alike. With over 40 articles
covering Education, Family, Behavioral Science, Mental Health,
Privacy, Political Correctness and Manipulation of Public Opinion the
reader will come to see how educators and provocateurs are driving a
wedge between parents and their children

Walking Targets points to an agenda that begins with government-
controlled childrearing and force-feeds young people a pseudo-
education under the cover of "mental health," "safety," "jobs," and
something called "lifelong learning." She shows how, under the cover
of educational and mental-health testing, computer technologies
popularly believed to be restricted to use in defense of our country,
have been redirected for use in tracking the opinions of
schoolchildren from the earliest years. She shows how psychographic
techniques, once confined to market research, have been retooled for
data-mining purposes.

"The hook to keep kids in school is lax dress codes, sports and
entertainment even as the dropout rate continues to soar." answered
Ms. Eakman in explaining the book.

She went on to say, "I take issue with teaching methodologies whose
primary purpose is to target the emotions rather than challenge the
intellect. Teachers do not exist to strip away a parent's belief
system from children in their classrooms, and to then transmit "new"
values. Today parents are waking up to see children who are nothing
like them - people they don't know and who don't even share what few
values they have left."

Charles M. Richardson, Founder & Chairman of the Literacy Council in
Long Island, NY states "Walking Targets is a devastating indictment of
the pernicious partners intentionally sabotaging our education system.
Beverly correctly observes that one of the most critical casualties
has been our diminished communication skills, compromising the
nation's ability to solve all its other problems."

In her review of Walking Targets Arizona State Senator Karen S.
Johnson writes, "Unlike most of the psychobabble that passes for
advice to parents, this book hones in on the real problems with
education today. No parent should enter the public school system
before arming themselves with Walking Targets first. This book is the
best parent guidebook there is on navigating the public school
system."

This 301 page compilation of her published articles, capitalizes on
the success of her three previously published books: Cloning of the
American Mind: Eradicating Morality through Education, Educating for
the New World Order, Microchipped: How the Education Establishment
Took Us Beyond Big Brother and her workbook How to Counter Group
Manipulation Tactics. Walking Targets is available through
