Screening a child's mind
The Christian Science Monitor reports that fears regarding plans to test every child for mental-health problems are premature."Throughout last summer and into the fall", the story begins, "the news crept across websites and spilled onto talk radio: The Bush administration was planning to screen every American child for mental-health problems and put those deemed in need of help on powerful psychotropic drugs. Parental rights would be taken away, and the stigma of mental illness would stain the school records of innocent children. Libertarians and conservatives, home-schoolers and psychiatric rights groups, expressed their concerns."
