I vehemently disagree with the testing, with or without consent, but what seems to me even worse is discussing the “diagnosis” with the minor without having her parents present or notified. Kids are insecure enough as it is without having some authority figure imply they are mentally ill also.

The title of the argument is somewhat misleading. The school system in Indiana has a blanket permission form for mental health screening. The courts said that such "passive permission" is not good enough and that in the case of mental health screening there must be specific permission for each test and each occurrence.
TeenScreen is used in 43 states in public schools, private schools, and in a huge amount of colleges.
All that being said, I'd be madder than a wet hen if this had happened (or does happen) to my children. This test is apparently VERY popular at major universities where parental consent is not an issue

Any chance that there’s a copy of this “exam” floating around? It would be nice for parents and others to see just what tests and such people are being subject to.

I’ve diagnosed the NEA with “Pathological Nazi” disorder.
It involves removing all parental control and authority, while forcing students conform to socialist norms or risk being sent to asylums.
