The Drugging Of The American Boy
Esquire ^ | March 27, 2014 | Ryan D'Agostino

By the time they reach high school, nearly 20 percent of all American boys will be diagnosed with ADHD. Millions of those boys will be prescribed a powerful stimulant to "normalize" them. A great many of those boys will suffer serious side effects from those drugs. The shocking truth is that many of those diagnoses are wrong, and that most of those boys are being drugged for no good reason—simply for being boys. It's time we recognize this as a crisis.

“and that most of those boys are being drugged for no good reason”

seriously mistaken. the reason, is the same reason there are no white Christian male judges on tv, no white boys in school age tv commercials, and culture wide discrimination against white boys....to crush the influence of the white Christian male in our culture.

The drugs teach them to be good little sheep and not question the ruling class.

Adderall is a life wrecker

I have seen it time and time again

Do not consent to give it to anyone, child or adult

Psychotropic drug prescriptions for children increased 800% between 1990 and 2000. I don’t know where it has gone since then but I suspect not downward.

oh and by the way. the reason the state came down so hard on the parents of the conneticut girl taken from them at a Massachusetts hospital, is so if a parent objects to the drugging of their son, they know he could be taken from them if they refuse.

Part of the plan, since John Dewey and the Progressives to destroy and corrupt the minds of healthy kids:

Scientific societies are as yet in their infancy. . . . It is to be expected that advances in physiology and psychology will give governments much more control over individual mentality than they now have even in totalitarian countries. Fitche laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished. . . . Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. . . .”——Bertrand Russell,1953

My co-worker use to drug his son because his wife could not handle him. I told him to swallow one of those pills and see what happens. He didn’t. The doctors prescribing this shit should be sued and jailed.

My son was diagnosed with ACHD, ADH all sorts of alphabet problems ... my wife and I decided to ignore all and treat him as normal. Guess what? He turned out normal. No learning disabilities, no A* whatever. Never on any drugs .

At 37 years old, he is normal and without any psychosis what-so-ever. Just wonder what he would be like if we had accepted what all the experts had wanted us to do and drugged him?

And THIS is almost 100% where the rash of psychotic mass shootings has come from.

Bingo. The manuscript of the leftist in pure play. We used to play during recess and run after each other as there was no tomorrow; exhilarating, fun and good for everyone. Now suddenly we are called abnormal and they are feeding us drugs. Control and money, the only two reasons the government does anything.
