The American society is currently infused with the effect of indiscipline which displays itself in systemic racism, prejudice, police brutality and school shootings. This situation originated from the historical development of Jim Crowism laws of 1807-1859.The social reform of 1820 - 1899 influenced the supreme Court in Plessy VS Ferguson which decided in 1899 that all students should be equally tutored but in segregated locations. The architects of this movement continued their protest and meetings. Consequently, the Supreme Court's ruling in the case of Ferguson Vs Board of Education resulted in a subsequent ruling in 1954 which eliminated segregation in schools. Gummer Myrdal the author of American Dilemma, mentioned in his writings acts of historical and systemic racism in America. His work was sponsored and published by the Carnegie foundation. He substantiated his views with supporting evidence of racism involving the treatment of African American soldiers who fought in the American wars alongside their white counterparts. Ralph Bunche the distinguished Afro American representative to the United Nation who negotiated peace in the Middle East was internationally recognized for his work. Despite Bunche' popularity, his achievements, and accolades, he was subjected to racism in a certain middle-income community in New York where he resided. The application of current education policy, racial justice, the unequal distribution of economic benefits and the exclusion of the bible in public administration, the Family and the schools are devastating. The racist manner infractions of school rules are being administered help to create frustrations and added misbehavior in the society. The conduits from school to prison idea which originated from the 'zero Tolerance in school policy' is devastating. The indiscriminate killing of African American by the police and other acts of police brutality are concerning. The problems of the Corona Pandemic, the 2020 Presidential elections and the attempted insurrection are all evidence of not just an Impending disaster but the beginning of a dilemma, or chaos. The author of this book Selbourne Reid is a retired Detective Inspector of Police from the Jamaica Constabulary Force. Selbourne observed the need to address the plight of children who were getting themselves in trouble with the law. He observed that most of the young people who were getting themselves in trouble with the law were from Inner city communities and that they needed better parenting. He after studying 'Child evangelism' sought and obtained permission from his supervisors to do and did voluntary social work in some of these inner cities in Jamaica for many years. Retiring from the Force he immigrated to the USA and was employed with the city of New York for about eight years. He was first employed as a Child Welfare and Foster Care Investigator and later as a Probation Officer. He relocated to Florida where he was first employed as a Child welfare and abuse investigator and later as a substitute (by choice) classroom schoolteacher. With the avalanche of mass school shootings, Selbourne decided to investigate and ascertain some causes of these shootings. His investigations revealed -in his opinion- that Indiscipline, an Irrelevant 'out of touch 'Education policy, along with Historical and Systemic racism are the main causes of twenty years of mass school shootings in America, as well as other social ills in the American society. He also projected the view that the causes identified in the above paragraph have had such an effect on the nation, that they together have placed America in a state of an Impending Dilemma or Chaos. Selbourne graduated from the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, with a bachelor's in Public Administration. He also attended the graduate teachers' program (GTEP) at Nova South Eastern University Florida and Liberty University in the M.Th. program ('I")
