The Hatch Amendment requires not merely the lack of an "opt out", but positive parental consent before anything that can be considered psychological treatment, conditioning, or testing can be performed. It also applies to stuff like DARE and "diversity training".

" The Hatch Amendment requires not merely the lack of an "opt out", but positive parental consent before anything that can be considered psychological treatment, conditioning, or testing can be performed. It also applies to stuff like DARE and "diversity training"."
Given that the Bush administration is the one who is pushing for this, he will probably veto the Hatch Amendment.
The Bush-bots may not like this, but Bush is easily the most Big Government-loving president we have had in a long time. At least when the Big-Gov't liberals are in office the conservatives are there to keep them in check. With Bush in office the conservatives just fall right into line.
