The commission said, "Each year, young children are expelled from preschools and childcare facilities for severely disruptive behaviors and emotional disorders."
Schools, the panel concluded, are in a "key position" to screen the 52 million students and 6 million adults who work at the schools.
This reminds me of the flap that occured when the global warming report was released. It caught the Administration temporarily off guard, but did no real damage.
The reason it did no damage is that the Adm. distanced itself from the report and I think pretty much ignored it. AFAIK, none of its recommendations were carried out.
There are parts of this report that are worrisome, such as a Federal program for mental health screening of all kids in the schools.
Will intrusive questions about the family be asked such as gun ownership, smoking, and drinking?
Will ex TSA screeners be retrained as Federal mental health screeners? (only half joking)
The point is that the President's people ought to get on top of this and ditch the idea of mass screenings loud and clear.
If they do, then I don't think there'll be much of a problem.
Of course, they will.

It seems to have been their idea, to some extent. Hope they ditch it, and fast.
The kids?
What about the part that mandates screening for the rest of the population?

I'd be surprised if they weren't. Wouldn't you?

"Should" and "will" do not always intersect, especially when they're busy endorsing it.
If they do, then I don't think there'll be much of a problem.
If my dog starts pooping out gold nuggets, I'll be rich.
Guess which outcome has a greater probability of success?
