One More Reason to Yank Your Kid from Gov't Schools

This, from Boortz:

There is a bill coming up for a vote in the Senate next week that every parent who, for some reason, still sends their children to government schools needs to pay attention to. The bill would fund grants to implement mandatory mental health screening for almost 60 million children, pregnant women and adults through schools in pre-schools. So what's wrong with that?

It sounds so good, doesn't it? "Mental health screening"....seems like a noble idea. But here's why this is extremely dangerous: the government is going to be doing it, and it will be mandatory. The result will be the continued drugging of children, as mental health professionals will determine that kids need treatment. Again, all of this will be done behind the parents' backs. After all, they couldn't possibly know what is best for their children...only big brother can determine that.

What's the point of mental health screening in the first place? To determine who is mentally healthy? Why would you do that? The only reason you would do mental health screening is to look for problems...problems that would be treated by drugging more children with Ritalin. It's much easier to teach a class of school children that are drugged into submission, you know.

What did people do before Ritalin was invented? It was called parenting. Unfortunately, the White House backs this disastrous scheme. Be sure to call or write your Senator and tell them not to support mandatory mental health screening.

A quick question. If the government can require mandatory mental health screening for your children ... how long will it be before the government can require mandatory mental health screening of all adults? When will you get your notice to turn up for your testing? Will you refuse? What happens if you refuse? Will various government benefits be withheld if you don't report to your local government mental health screening center for your testing?

Are you even willing to think about these things?

If your kid is still attending gov't schools, what must you be thinking? The only way your child won't be "left behind" will be by yanking him out of the system.

As a special bonus to parents of gov't indoctrinated kids here's yet another reason, at least for parents in one Illinois school. It's all in good fun, don't ya' know!
