eliminate $5.9M from the 2012 federal education budget designated to integrate mental health services into the schools.

Disadvantaged/poor students are targeted to receive services; thus, possible discrimination. Others, without Medicaid, are excluded from receiving services. Comprehensive services should be available for all and they already are available at the local mental health center - there is no need to bring services into the schools. Concerns exist regarding the validity of the DSM. 20% of American males have been misdiagnosed with ADHD; there is a 359% increase in the misdiagnosis of autism. The majority of students served by mental health will receive medications to make pharmaceutical companies money. We already have two federal programs to serve students with disabilities (special education and 504). Don't disable America any more. www.xpsych.com/october2011.htm for more information.
