Dana Loesch On Mandatory Mental Exams For NY Public School Students

The Right Scoop ^ | 1/18/2014 | Caleb Howe

In New York, a bill has been proposed by Democrat Assemblywoman Margaret Markey that would require all public school students to undergo mental health exams, more than once, in order to attend.

Loesch points out how this fits into a larger picture that is forming with Common Core requirements and various state legislatures across the country. Schools are collecting information such as parental political affiliations, firearm ownership, religious affiliations, and other forms of data mining. She also poses the important question of who would pay for this. Is it going to be yet another financial burden for low and middle income families imposed by the busybody state?

Interference in the family unit and absolute disregard for privacy are becoming de rigeur in America on two fronts. We have the safety and security minded, hoping to prevent tragedy though screening, and we have the we know what’s best crowd, creating a better tomorrow by shrinking soda sizes, seizing sodium, and generally aiming to clothe Americans in the bubble wrap of a federal government that’s just “looking out for their best interests.”

“looking out for their best interests.”

Just remember that leftists consider conservatism a mental illness http://reason.com/archives/2004/10/20/pathologizing-conservatism

Indeed. And expect renewed government interest in the returns of any certifiably conservative kids.

How about mandatory mental exams for politicians?

[hal ogen]

So who is going to do a mental exam on those doing the mental exams? Psychiatrists and psychologists aren’t known as the most stable members of society.

They will use the information from the children to spy on the parents!
