  • Now Co. wants to screen all kids for mental health

    and the ones who are actually healthy will probably be drugged.

    I know they want to do something about kids rising suicide rates but I can see what will actually happen.

    The kids will turn it into a game. You get an award for being found crazy and you're king for a day if you get prescribed some medication.
    The tik tok challenges will flow fast and furious. This is just a really dumb idea and has as much or more chance of increasing suicides than preventing any.
    Need proof? Look what's happened to gender dysphoria rates in kids since schools found it. Skyrocketed.

    What a fantasy. At best, Harrison Bergeron, but more likely Tom Cruise adjacent.

    Well, maybe that's what you would do. Fortunately, a mental health
    screening will only get you a note to the parent if needed. They won't
    hand out Adderall like lollipops after.

    Plus, it will be voluntary so Tom Cruise could opt any Colorado children
    he may have out.

    Yes, please.

    Look at how rates of left-handedness skyrocketed after nuns were
    forbidden to whack lefties with rulers.
