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.
