It should be compulsory for Leftists only.

No, wait - we all know beyond doubt they're fantastically mentally disturbed.

Welcome to the Free Republic.

Welcome to FR.

Is free tinfoil included with the screenings?

How we ever got along without all this touchy-feely medicate-yourself-to-mental-health bull**** really must tick off Liberals. Seems they're always trying to put us under en loco parentis at every turn.

And the Leftists wonder why so many parents are switching to home schooling rather than this institutionalized insanity.

IL Launches Compulsory Mental Health Screening For Children And Pregnant Women

[watchout]

Welcome to hitler SS

[beethovenfan]

Just wait - anyone expressing opposition to homosexuality,
abortion, socialism, etc., or identifying themselves as
Bible-believing Christians will be declared mentally ill,
in need of medication and "re-education". The brave new
world is here!

I know a bad idea when I see one, and THIS is a bad idea.
I grew p in the Ritalin driven 80's in NJ.
They had a grand old time telling kids on one hand "Don't do drugs!" while on teh other hand pumping them full of Ritalin.
They'd bring in psychologists to make predetermined 'diagnosis' of 'problems' so that they could do a little bit of social engineering experimentation on us.
Anyone 'the educators' didn't like or didn't want to be bothered with got put on Ritalin.
Got to see a kid, calmest kid you've ever run into, go from being calm and quiet to being an outrageous nightmare.
And that was after they'd put himon Ritalin.

All after bogus psychological screenings by the friendly schoolboard's head shrinker.
His 'diagniosis' of me?
He sat there for 5 minutes glaring at me, no questions asked, no actual tests done, and declared me "hyper-active anti-social borderline psychotic".
In first grade.

As reported in the Illinois Leader, Larry Trainor, a parent of four children and Illinois contact for the Los Angeles based Citizens Commission on Human Rights, said, "Since psychiatric involvement in education, SAT scores have gone down for the past few decades. Evaluating mental conditions is not based on scientific evidence, it's subjective."

These guys are a Scientology front. Take anything they say with several cubic feet of salt.
