> Mental Health Screening in Schools Signals the End of Parental Rights
> Nancy Levant
>
> In the 2005-2006 school year, all parents will receive written notice
> of new policies from your children's schools. Many schools will ask
> you to sign permission slips, allowing school counselors or
> "advocates" to have conversations with your children. You will be told
> how your local schools are now involved in vision and dental
> screenings, learning disabilities and speech impediment screenings,
> and other acts of kindness, but watch for the small print or the extra
> little blurb, which states that your children will also be evaluated
> for emotional wellness. Watch for wording like "happiness indicators"
> or "family participation."
>
> The fact is that our president has mandated that every American child,
> age 3 through 18, is federally ordered to be evaluated for mental
> health issues and to receive "enforced" treatment. Welcome to
> President Bush's New Freedom Initiative and New Freedom Commission on
> Mental Health. Welcome to life-long profiling and drug addictions, New
> Freedom-style.
>
> 52 million students and six million adults working in schools,
> according to this commission, will be tested and should flush out at
> least 6 million people, or shall we say new customers, who will then
> be mandated to receive "treatment." What treatment does our
> president's commission have in mind? The newest drugs in the
> pharmaceutical pipelines, of course. The commission recommends
> "specific medications for specific conditions."
>
> One of the state-of-the-art treatments, and most expensive, is an
> implanted capsule - yes, that's right, implanted. The capsule delivers
> medication into a child's body without the child having to swallow a
> pill or the need for parental permission for dispensation.
>
> The New Freedom Commission named the Texas Medication Algorithm
> Project (TMAP) a model treatment plan. Medical algorithms are a
> flowchart-style treatment indicator. If you have A symptom and B
> symptom, take C medication. TMAP began with the University of Texas,
> big pharma, and the mental health and corrections system in Texas. The
> American Psychiatric Association concurs that TMAP is brilliant.
>
> However, the New Freedom Initiative and Commission is a political-big
> pharma marriage. Many companies who supported TMAP were also major
> contributors to Bush's re-election funds. For example, Eli Lilly
> manufactures olanzapine - one of the drugs recommended in the New
> Freedom plan, and furthermore, George Herbert Walker Bush was once a
> member of Lilly's board of directors. Our current President Bush
> appointed Lilly's chief executive officer, Sidney Taurel, as a member
> of the Homeland Security Council. Eighty-two percent of Lilly's $1.6
> million in political contributions in 2000 went to Bush and the
> Republican Party. Do tell.
>
> Texas Algorithm grossed over 4 billion dollars in 2003 and olanzapine
> is Eli Lilly's top selling drug. A 2003 New York Times article by
> Gardiner Harris claims that 70 percent of olanzapine sales are paid
> for by government agencies, such as Medicare and Medicaid. And lo and
> behold, guess who is now able to bill Medicaid for health services?
> Public schools, of course, as they are now under the big
> pharma-political profits/pay-back umbrella once they adopt screening
> policies. Public schools can now be paid to screen and drug your kids.
>
> Now, if you ever wonder, ever again, if public-private partnerships
> care about people, then you need a brain transplant. Your children are
> now the legislated guinea pigs and lab rats for the pharmaceutical
> companies who bought and paid for our president's campaign. Favors are
> now returned to those companies in the form of enforced, juvenile
> customers, their health, and their future drug addictions.
>
> But wait, there is more. The New Freedom Commission also calls for
> enforced treatment. That means that parents have no rights to refuse
> the treatment recommenced by TMAP and other drug dispensing
> corporate-bureaucratic apparatuses. And as the mental health
> bureaucracy is also involved in this financial game of insidious
> cruelty, parents and families are also to be investigated via the
> result of their children's screenings in schools. In other words,
> schools are now the across-the board, or shall I say nation,
> diagnostic tool for big pharma and child control.
>
> And there's more. The U.N. Agenda 21 has also called for total
> intrusion into schools and children lives. No more religion, no more
> individuality, no more real education, no more real grades, no more
> real teaching, no more teacher respect for parents, and no more truth
> from teachers or principals. This sounds very familiar and very
> political to me. And I've said it before, and I will say it again: if
> you are of a religious ilk and you refuse to allow your children to be
> abused by our "educational" system, the stage is being set for you to
> lose physical custody of your children. I suggest that you read this:
> Rethinking Orphanages for the 21st Century by Richard McKenzie, ed
>
> Still got your kids in public schools? Shame on you, and may God bless
> your poor children and forgive you.
