Perez believes Citizens Training Handbook, with its emphasis on morality & values, will fill a void in today's school curricula. He writes out of concern for what he sees as a moral crisis in our schools & society in general. In a telling example, he cites a study, which listed the seven major problems in schools during the 1940s as: talking out loud, chewing gum, making noise, running in the halls, cutting into lines, dress code violations, & littering. In contrast, during the 1980s were: drug abuse, alcohol abuse, teen pregnancy, suicide, rape, theft & assault.Perez, Demetrio, Jr. is the author of 'Citizens Training Handbook-Manual De Formacion Ciudadana Discipline-Moral-Covism-Urbanity' with ISBN 9780962878008 and ISBN 0962878006.
