President Bush Signs Landmark Legislation Prohibiting Forced Psychiatric Drugging of Schoolchildren

Citizens Commission on Human Rights (Scientology front) ^ | December 6, 2004

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

While the news is welcome, I wonder why this reform was a special project of the Church of Scientology...

[kallisti]

i agree and had the same reaction. what's in it for them?

[johniegrad]

The article's title is misleading. Children cannot be forced to take psychotropic medications with parental consent or a court order.

[Spok]

"applauding Congress for passing precedent-setting legislation that bans school personnel forcing parents to drug their children for classroom or behavioral problems."

The fact that such a law was needed is frightening.

...strange bedfellows, eh?

I actually like to see odd groups find commonalities- gets people otherwise unwilling to listen to one another talking..I think this is great!

...I wonder why this reform was a special project of the Church of Scientology... The only reason Scientology has not progressed to it's natural conclusion; i.e. handing out the grape kool-aid in Guyana, or a stand off with BATF; is that there is lots of money to be made peddling the mad rantings of L. Ron Hubbard.

Yeah! Who the hell issued MEDICAL LIcences to teachers who can't even TEACH our children let alone give them medical diagnosis!!!

[DTogo]

Hopefully the next law will require schools to implement policies that prohibit schoolchildren being forced to learn/hear Liberal ideas as a requisite for their education.

[Wneighbor]

Aren't the scientologists the ones who'll let their folks die rather than permit medical intervention?

[lugsoul]

The fact that Scientologists think it is a bad thing is almost enough to send me running to the pediatrician to get some 'scrips for my daughter.

[My2Cents]

I didn't see anything in the article about Bush signing the legislation. I hope he does.

I know very little about the "church" of scientology, but I suspect they are opposed to the use of psychotropic drugs as a solution to anyone's problems.

[stylin_geek]

Think in terms of "even a stopped clock is right twice a day."

[My2Cents]

I wonder how persuasive school officials are with weak-willed or ignorant parents in getting their consent to dope-up their kids.

[shield]

Even though this comes from this group....I've listened to the followers of this sect on this and they are very well informed...I'm glad they went after this legislation on a big time bases....keeps us Christian conservatives from having to fight another battle. We've got enough to fight as it is.

[My2Cents]

That would be "Christian Science."

[Revolting cat!]

No one's allowed to compete with the Church of Scienfictionology!
