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

Welcome to hitler SS
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!
Calling Mr. Orwell...
Thank you everyone for your comments to my first article on Free Republic!
You know, I cant help thinking about the quote of Dr. Chester Pierce, Professor of Education and Psychiatry at Harvard, as relating to what we are talking about. He said ,"Every child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our Founding Fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It's up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well - by creating the international child of the future."
You may want to hear my interview with reporter Rhonda Robinson of the Illinois Leader on this subject, online. Just go to my website at www.changingworldviews.com and click on the mic at the top right. After tomorrow it will be on the Broadcast Archives page.
See you later,

ping and read post #12
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 an underclassman, I hung out with a lot of the psych grads because my best friend was working on her masters. Those were the most troubled people on campus. I cringe for their patients.
I dropped out of U.C. in the late sixties. I was forced to see the school shrink as part of the process. I told him my reasons for dropping out (not interested in school, too big a school, wanted to go out and start working). After about half an hour of my litany, his only question was, "how long have you hated your parents?"
I just looked at him in a pitiful way, shook my head, and walked out the door. What a kook!
LOL!
Yeah, had a pop psychology princess tell me that I have issues with my parents and that was why he was going to have me arrested.(?)
He's a pastor(!) at the missus church and uses the most convoluted reasoning I have ever run across.
