Summary

A look inside the historic mental hospital that served as the location for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest—includes photos.   Seen through the eyes of those who lived there, this book examines the world of a mental hospital established in Salem, Oregon, in 1883—where, in desperate attempts to cure their patients, physicians injected them with deadly medications, cut holes in their heads, and sterilized them.   Years of insufficient funding caused the hospital to decay into a crumbling, understaffed facility, which was later used as the setting for the 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Today, after a $360 million makeover, Oregon State Hospital is a modern treatment hospital for the state’s civil and forensic mentally ill. In this compelling account of the institution’s tragedies and triumphs, author Diane Goeres-Gardner offers an unparalleled look at the very human story of Oregon’s historic asylum.

    Today’s youth have a lot going against them as they trudge onto their school campuses. Sitting in cold, hard desks, they’re force-fed facts that quickly zap the joy of discovery right out of them. Next, they’re indoctrinated with progressive ideologies meant to sexualize them and incite hatred for America. The fear of a gunman kicking in their classroom door constantly looms in the back of their mind. This is the loneliest, most anxious, and depressed young generation our world has possibly ever seen. Oh, and on top of all that...they might not really be a boy or a girl. 
You can keep subjecting your kids to the poison, or you can bring them home to flourish. This book gives you the pro tips and encouragement to discover what millions of other parents already have: the best thing for their families is to take back control of their lives and their children’s education. 
So what’s stopping you? 
• You fear that your children won’t be adequately socialized? 
• You don’t have the patience, organizational skills, or time? 
• Homeschoolers are just weird! 
This book dispels those lies and fifteen others that society erroneously believes. Ahead of you awaits a family bond you never imagined possible, and the role of primary guide for your child down the path God created them for. Even though it starts in your living room, this mission will be far-reaching. At the very least, your impact will be felt down to your grandchildren’s generation. At most, to all of eternity.
