Who's really surprised that this heathen, liberal state's children are experiencing mental health issues?
“Are you a Trump supporter? Yes? You are mentally ill, we’re locking up your parents, and you must enter a re-

Good idea for politicians and anyone on the left.
Wasn’t it the Soviets who would consign political dissidents to mental hospitals, since anyone who disagreed with the Government HAD to be crazy?

I suspect the cause of these high suicide and mental illness rates is due to the same thing. Cloudy, dreary, foggy weather which can drive one stir-crazy.
Of course. Then anyone who shows signs of a conservative outlook can be rendered loco and medicated, or institutionalized. Calling nurse Ratched.
Every Christian and Jewish student with good caring and conservative parents will be judged as mentally ill.
