One of the nation's leading medical groups, the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons (AAPS), decried a move by the U.S. Senate to join with the House in funding a federal program AAPS says will lead to mandatory psychological testing of every child in America — without the consent of parents.
When the Senate considered an omnibus appropriations bill last week that included funding for grants to implement universal mental health screening for almost 60 million children, pregnant women and adults through schools and pre-schools, it approved $20 million of the $44 million sought, Kathryn Serkes, public affairs counsel for AAPS, told NewsMax.

This $20 million matches a like amount already approved by the House, Serkes advised.

While the funding cut of some $24 million was a little good news, suggested Serkes, whose organization has zealously opposed the the measure, she said the organization was most worried about the failure of Congress to include “parental consent” language sought by the AAPS.

Perhaps it is the teachers who need to be medicated, right after the lawmakers.

This is nothing more than developing a path into the child's family life and parent's thought processes. Spying on one's own parent by Government agents under the guise of phychological testing is a step to the gulag for the parents that aren't politically correct. Ernest Segraves

I doubt if George Orwell could even envison this dark turn in his anti-utopian scenarios. The real need for mental screening is with the half-wit meglomaniac from Crawford, Texas and his evil henchmen. Massive doses of truth and prison stripes might serve them well.

You should be homeschooling NOW. The crap they feed your children's mind is very toxic. They will be using biometric scanning, fingerprinting, dna collections to put your kids, AND YOU, into the matrix.
