Eagle Forum:
“Big Brother is on the march. A plan to subject all children to mental health screening is underway, and the pharmaceutical corporations are gearing up for bigger sales of antidepressant and psychostimulant drugs.
Like most liberal big-spending ideas, this one was slipped into the law under cover of sweet words. It started with the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health created by President George W. Bush’s Executive Order 13263 of April 29, 2002. The Commission issued its report on July 22, 2003. President Bush has instructed 25 federal agencies to develop a plan to implement the Commissions recommendations.
In 2004, Congress appropriated $20 million to finance the recommendations of this New Freedom Commission on Mental Health. Congress also passed the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act that included $7 million for suicide screening, and tens of millions more for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and its Center for Mental Health Services. The No Child Left Behind Act already includes $5 million for Mental Health Integration. These funds appear to be part of a larger plan to get more and more people labeled and in the psychiatric system or, as some say, to move children into the psychotherapeutic state.
This Commission on Mental Health laid out a federal plan that could subject all children to mental health screening in school and during routine physical exams. The clear plan is to use the public schools to subject all children to mental examinations, forcing millions of kids to undergo psychiatric screening whether their parents consent or not.
...
The government bureaucrats who are promoting universal mental health screening for all children are praising a Columbia University based program called TeenScreen as a national model. This program has already been tried out on 43,000 young people in 36 states. It screens 9th and 10th graders for risk of suicide, anxiety disorders, depression, and drug and alcohol disorders. “

Sounds like 43,000 young people permanently barred from buying guns- or serving in the US military. Stealth gun control.
