Mandatory Mental Health Screening -- President Bush
created the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health in 2002, which released
findings in April 2003. "The
New Freedom Commission report asserts that "early detection, assessment, and
links with treatment and supports can prevent mental health problems from
worsening" and goes on to say that "strong school mental health programs can
attend to the health and behavioral concerns of students, reduce unnecessary
pain and suffering, and help ensure academic achievement." In short, the
Commission is urging that some form of mandatory mental health screening system
be implemented in schools in order to identify mental health problems early and
then adequately prescribe mental health medical treatments for those who need
it." Opt Out for your children on religious grounds
