If America goes down the tubes, it will be because voters send their Child into the voting booth to vote Parents into political office while their rational Adult sits out in the car. In The Child in the Voting Booth, Dr. Ray Smith attempts to educate the Adult in voters in hopes their rational Adult will come in and take charge. In clear and often humorous language, the author gives numerous examples of the disasters that follow when a government assumes Parental control of its citizens' morality or of a nation's economy. The Prohibition amendment ended up with more Americans of every sex and age drinking than ever before. The present war on drugs has set off an historical drug orgy clear across America. Former laws against men touching each other yielded 4 times more men in bed together. Laws limiting a woman's decisions regarding her uterus, kill 125 times more women per unit termination. The lesson is that all governmentally Parented moral 'misbehavior' continues, and gets worse, until the government Parenting stops. When governments try to Parent the economy by running and controlling it, the economy always goes straight to hell, according to Smith. The Child in the Voting Booth is often funny, frequently alarming, and always sobering. As an added bonus Dr. Smith shares with you what your neighbors are doing in the bedroom... and in the alley out behind the house.

This book was released on 2022-01-11. Evicted! available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Shortlist, Goddard Riverside/CBC Young People's Book Prize for Social Justice This critical civil rights book for middle-graders examines the little-known Tennessee's Fayette County Tent City Movement in the late 1950s and reveals what is possible when people unite and fight for the right to vote. Powerfully conveyed through interconnected stories and told through the eyes of a child, this book combines poetry, prose, and stunning illustrations to shine light on this forgotten history. The late 1950s was a turbulent time in Fayette County, Tennessee. Black and White children went to different schools. Jim Crow signs hung high. And while Black hands in Fayette were free to work in the nearby fields as sharecroppers, the same Black hands were barred from casting ballots in public elections. If they dared to vote, they faced threats of violence by the local Ku Klux Klan or White citizens. It wasn't until Black landowners organized registration drives to help Black citizens vote did change begin--but not without White farmers' attempts to prevent it. They violently evicted Black sharecroppers off their land, leaving families stranded and forced to live in tents. White shopkeepers blacklisted these families, refusing to sell them groceries, clothes, and other necessities. But the voiceless did finally speak, culminating in the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which legally ended voter discrimination. Perfect for young readers, teachers/librarians, and parents interested in books for kids with themes of: Activism Social justice Civil rights Black history
