TeenScreen closes down!

TeenScreen was a totalitarian vestige of the "do as you're told" Bush era.

This aggressive, unscientific "mental health screening" program was activated in most U.S. states and several foreign countries under the auspices of Bush's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health - which itself aimed to increase Big Pharma's profits. The program was quickly discredited, yet it continued with almost no limits.

Among other things, TeenScreen interrogators asked intrusive, personal questions of children as young as 9, and kids were wrongly profiled and drugged based on their answers. Children were lured into this trap with promises of pizza parties and other gifts. A goal of TeenScreen was to screen every young person before they were out of high school.

Now the failed TeenScreen has been suddenly discontinued.

Good. Let it fade like everything else the Tea Party supports.
