Personally, I am not scared of psychological screening, if it is done correctly. However, I don't see how we could afford it. We already have all these mentally ill homeless problems, and we can't even afford to take care of them now.
They will never admit it, but I think the goal of the left is to see to it that EVERY child in America is diagnosed as needing Ritalin (or some similar mind-altering drug). Creating a nation of zombies will enable to promote their agenda with far greater ease.
I agree with you - anyone under the age of 18 has to have parental permission - and what if these screenings had been done years ago in Columbine could the shootings have been prevented?
Also by checking people early perhaps we could identify possibilities of homelessness before it happens.
I don't know just a thought.
It will NOT be done correctly.
The federal government has absolutely no business doing this --- and the federal government needs to get it's big huge nose out of education. No where in the US Constitution was it ever assigned this responsibility --- the US Constitution was deliberately written to limit the power of the federal government.
