While I agree COVID school shutdowns and unsavory social media platforms added to the problem, I don\u2019t agree with government schools addressing the problem for which I assert they created.<\/p>\n<h3>The Problem with Government Schools<\/h3>\n<p>Led by the federal government, Marxist schemes are being implemented in America\u2019s schools where children\u2019s minds are being pumped full of hate for themselves, others, and their country. All the while, government schools in collaboration with physicians have been drugging children for decades to control their behavior (ADD and ADHD), and the side effects of prescribing amphetamines to young children for many years have the real potential to increase violent behavior and mental disorders and eliminates the ability for a child to learn to regulate their behavior, a.k.a. self-control.<\/p>\n<p>We must also add confusion from government schools telling young children they might not be their biological sex and robbing their innocence with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sheri-few-the-mental-health-crisis-in-todays-kids-whos-to-blame\/\" title=\"Blaming for Kids' Mental Health Crisis: Sheri Few's Perspective.\">sex talks including homosexuality lessons long<\/a> before children are even thinking about sex. In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) changed the term \u201cgender identity disorder\u201d to \u201cgender dysphoria.\u201d Many APA members wanted to remove it from the list of mental health disorders altogether to normalize the disorder, but the majority voted to merely change the name to remove the stigma of a \u201cdisorder\u201d and ease the perception of what is clearly and definitionally a mental health disorder. The compromise was made so that insurance companies will pay for treatment. After all of this, school officials still wonder why children are having mental health problems?<\/p>\n<h3>The Government\u2019s Solution<\/h3>\n<p>The government\u2019s solution to the mental health crisis they created is to implement mental health programs in schools under the title of \u201csocial emotional learning\u201d (SEL). Schools across the country who took COVID relief funding were required to implement SEL programs. It is common practice for the federal government to provide money to America\u2019s schools with strings attached so they can control local schools. While on average a state only receives about 10% of their education budget from the federal government, the feds control 100% of classrooms through financial bribes.<\/p>\n<p>One SEL program being considered by a school district in Michigan is called \u201cClayful,\u201d which is a virtual mental health coaching program where children can interact by texting with counselors. The program doesn&#8217;t require parental consent to have a student participate. In fact, unless there is a threat of self-harm or a threat against the district, student participation is kept confidential.<\/p>\n<h3>The Risks of Online Therapy<\/h3>\n<p>Has anyone considered the effectiveness of online therapy? Data mining is a big risk; privacy, hacking, and even selling data is a real concern. How could we know what is happening? Even assuming the therapist is good, virtual counseling misses body language and visual cues. Online therapy may work for adults, but doesn&#8217;t it seem like an opportunity to manipulate and nudge young children in bad directions?<\/p>\n<h3>The Responsibility of Parents<\/h3>\n<p>Mental health IS health, and in most states, parents must not only be informed and provide permission for all health interventions, but the counselor and their notes about the student should be made available to the parents, as well as diagnosis and treatment recommendations. How did schools gain the authority to provide medical intervention to children? Schools are way outside their bounds. Children are failing academically, and schools need to focus on student learning. Student health is the responsibility of parents \u2014 not schools!<\/p>\n<h3>The Benefits of Homeschooling<\/h3>\n<p>A recent Harvard study concludes that homeschooled children are happier and have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/data-show-conservatives-are-happier-than-leftists-is-anyone-surprised\/\" title=\"Data Show Conservatives Are Happier Than Leftists. Is Anyone Surprised?\">fewer mental health issues<\/a> than children who attend government schools. If avoiding the harmful influences of government schools is clearly the path to happiness, is it any wonder so many parents are deserting them for the mental health and wellbeing of their own kids?<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p>Sheri Few is the Founder and President of United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) whose mission is to end the US Department of Education and all federal education mandates.
