Heartland Institute's Dec 1 edition of School Reform News features an update (here)and another side story (here) on the children's mental health screening program and how it is expanding throughout the nation.
Illinois parents need to be reminded again and again that their children are being used by amateurs as guinea pigs to bolster the sagging psychology industry. Beware of your kids being screened and analyzed for mental health issues without your knowledge.
Perhaps soon someone in our Illinois legislature will become concerned enough to pick up the cause and protect parents' rights to know and participate in making decisions about their children's mental and physical health.
Until that time comes, it is incumbent upon parents to ask questions and find out what is happening when their children enter school house doors every day.
