Government requires all sorts of mandatory health screenings and tests before a child can attend public school. What's the difference with mental health screening?

I don't believe the government has the right for mandatory screening. If a child is not a threat to others then why require testing. It's just more government controls.

Because the psychiatric/psychologic industry has become hugely politicized of late, in case you haven't noticed. They want to 'normalize' pedophilia, homosexuality, people wanting sex changes, etcetera. Consider what has been done to boys across this nation who act like boys....they recommend doping for ADD, ODD, ADHD, and a host of other 'kid' behaviors that have all of a sudden become 'disorders' needing 'treatment'.

I predict that the pharmaceutical industry is behind this. After everyone gets diagnosed with something, Compassionate Conservatism will be right there to pay for the meds.
