Brave New World

Phyllis Schlafley writes a conservative editorial against Bush Administration recommendations that all children be subject to psychological evaluations in public school, parents don't get a say.

Big Brother is on the march. A plan to subject all children to mental health screening is underway, and the pharmaceuticals are gearing up for bigger sales of psychotropic drugs.

Like most liberal big-spending ideas, this one was slipped into the law under cover of soft semantics. Its genesis was the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health (NFCMH) created by President George W. Bush in 2002.

Proof conservative like... wait, what do they like again? Schools evaluating your children? Um... I don't BELIEVE you if you say the Republican Party wants smaller government, wants government out of your life, doesn't like unfunded mandates.
