Taming Oedipus Boys and Violence, Why?



Taming Oedipus - Boys & Violence: Why? Read Intro! This book is about boys and violence and how this plays out in schools. Parents want their kids in safe schools. The shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, CO showed us that schools are not safe.

The book deals with the media, entertainment industries, the Internet, the family, dangerous kids, and guns; all the things that play a part in a culture that supports violence.

Can we have safer schools or is the task hopeless? There are things we can do to make schools safe. The answers aren't simple, but there are answers. The book discusses some of the reasons why boys are violent, what produces an atmosphere of violence, and what we can do about it. As a culture, we must make our schools safe. There are ways to do this.
