Thanks for the link! Let's examine some of it. (Excerpts italicized)

Early Assessment and Treatment Are Critical Across the Life Span

Very innteresting, as they used to say on the old 'Laugh in Show".
Holy J J & M, doesn't the heading of this section alone give you chills?!!!

Life time bureaucrat shrink surveillance for every sad sack one of us by our friendly federal government!

For consumers of all ages, early detection, assessment, and linkage with treatment and supports can prevent mental health problems from compounding and poor life outcomes from accumulating. Early intervention can have a significant impact on the lives of children and adults who experience mental health problems.

The last time I checked, I was a free citizen of the good ole USA with full Constitutional rights! Not a g@@ damned "consumer".

Again, all this diagnosis and prognosis to be in the charge of the local commissar of "detecting mental (or political) deviates". Try this excerpt from another source, another time on for size.

For the first time in the Soviet period formal democratic election principles were defined in the Constitution of the USSR of 1936. According to this Constitution mentally challenged individuals as well as those convicted by a court of law and deprived of electoral rights (as an optional penalty) were debarred from elections. In fact, according to December 1, 1945 Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR «On Enrollment of Convicted Individuals and Those Under Investigation in Voter Lists,» any individual persons who were under investigation or held in a temporary detention ward were deprived of their electoral rights.

But, back to our Amerikan version:

While schools are primarily concerned with education, mental health is essential to learning as well as to social and emotional development. Because of this important interplay between emotional health and school success, schools must be partners in the mental health care of our children.

Well, I'm not about to take all night dissecting this disgraceful piece of sheeple control garbage (brought to you by your smirking born again charmer).

We have already lost our Republic and alas, I sense that my oxygen stealing fellow "citizens' are quite willing to swwap "their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor" and their rights as free men for the pitiful pottage of a federal leviathon to look over them.

Yepps to all. Also think about- how do you justify a new mental health bureacracy? By making sure there are a lot of people needing your service that's how. So obviously it would be to the school's or whomever's advantage to have the children test as having mental health problems. Especially since I am sure the equation will look like this : More mental health problems = more federal money. And once a new agency is remorad into our system- that sucka ain't gonna leave go. And can you imagine, shudder, shudder, the leeway such a program would give the experts?
Doing homework would no longer mean the child was too lazy or too stupid or too bored, it would mean the need for INTERVENTION. A call to explore the underlying dynamics of the socionomic structure of the child and his/her primary support group. It would mean utilizing the public health resources within the community to arrive at a mutually benefecial solution to the child's inability to perform within the acceptable boundries of the learning environment. TA DA. I did that without a net!!!!
