Sad :< Establishment Educators Push Drugs On Disruptive, Fussy Children!/ Reading, Writing and Ritalin! For a variety of reason, including boredom, schoolchildren sometimes dont pay attention the way the teacher would prefer. In times past, the answer has been a suggestion from the teacher to pay attention, or perhaps a slap on the wrist with the ever-present ruler. That was then. This is now. Todays answer to fussy children. DRUG THEM!! It is a well-established fact that often the most fussy children are often the most intelligent. They get bored in a class geared to the less intelligent. But we cant have some children singled out as being more intelligent. So, in a Machiavellian move to prevent excellence from being rewarded and encouraged, the government along with the blessing of the Medical Industrial-Complex have decided that fussy children have a mental problem. But not to worry, they have an answerits drugs. Dope those kids to the point that theyll sit there in class like good little zombies, never educationally outdistancing their lesser endowed classmates! But first the parents must be convinced that their children arent fussy; theyre fruit cakes. Dont worry, parents, says the psychiatrist, We can fix that. And if you dont believe them, the pharmaceutical companies have jumped on the bandwagon. A concerned parent in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was visiting her local bank where she found a stack of pamphlets available for customers as a public service. The name of this pamphlet is Reading, Writing and RITALIN. Ritalin is a stimulant used to stabilize fussy children First, fussy children isnt scientific enough. No good parent is going to agree to have his child drugged (in good conscience) because he or she is fussy. So the American Psychiatric Association has come up with a new spin-drome, thats called Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD, and its associate disease Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity or ADHA. Parents are told that their children are sick. But again, dont worry, theres a solution: You guessed it: drugs! Heres what the helpful community service pamphlet says: Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) affects approximately 2 million school-age children. No one knows for certain what causes ADD. Evidence suggests, however, that a chemical imbalance or deficiencies in certain neurotransmitters may be the root of the problem. To identify ADD a clinical judgment and an objective assessment is needed. ADD is a learning disability, and in approximately 25 percent of the cases other impairments exist, therefore a psyco-educational assessment is needed including the evaluation of: reasoning skills, use of language, perception, attention, memory, visual motor functioning, academic achievement and social skills to establish a pattern. Again, dont worry. It isnt your childs fault he or she is fussy. Its a chemical imbalance or a problem with neurotransmitters in the brains. Thats a relief. Get out the DRUGS! The situation has progressed to the point where a teacher just reports a fussy student to a higher authority, and then the parents are informed that the child should (must) get tested for ADD. If you disagree that drugging your fussy child is wrong, even after a member in good standing of the APA decides its the right course of action, prepare for a visit from the child welfare juggernaut. And what is this Ritalin that everyone says is so good for your fussy child? Dennis Clarke a member of a Human Rights Commission paints a very grim picture of Ritalin. According to Clarke, in 1989, Ritalin was The number one street drug in Canada. He identified it as a speed-type drug. Continuing, Mr. Clarke says, This drug, when given to a child who has not yet entered puberty, has what is called a paradoxical effect. It has a reverse effect to what it would have on you or I as adults. Whenever you give speed to a child, it has the effect of being a downer. Lets take an example: Quaalude, a heavy psychiatric downer, which was taken off the market by Congress in 1984. If that drug was given to a child it would act as a very potent type of speed. The child would become wildly hyperactive, the pulse would increase and the child would be in serious trouble. Now, on the other hand, when you give speed to a child who has not yet entered puberty, for reasons we dont fully understand, it apparently overwhelms the childs central nervous system, cutting the motors, making it difficult for the child to move and to communicate. CIBA- GEIGY warns that this drug can cause epilepsy in children as well as adults. It can cause epileptic seizures where there is no history of it. Heres what the APA says about the drug: Poor administration or incorrect dosage of Ritalin can lead to some of the following side effects: Zombie-like behavior, growth suppression, behavior or thought disorder, seizures, headaches, blurred vision, scalp hair loss, Tourettes syndrome-including tics, barking like a dog and babbling profanities! It can also result in drug dependence and an inclination for criminality. That what the APA says about the drug they want to give to your child because he or she is fussy in school or loses things like pencils or homework assignments. Did you ever lose a homework assignment? Do you think you were sick and in need of a mind-numbing drug to fix things As usual, a major pharmaceutical company is making profits from the misery and ruined lives of our most innocent citizens; the children. In Nazi Germany this was called Genocide, in America today it is called behavior modification. Both are abhorrent and repulses the strong moral fiber of every decent and hard-working American! I strongly urge everyone to find the names of those who sit on the board of directors of the top ten pharmaceutical companies. That will most certainly be an eye- opener even to those who support the Pro-Medication Wing of the Medical-Industrial Complex. If you care about your family, your community and even yourself, you MUST find out that facts regarding the biggest swindle, sham and scam that is being perpetrated on the gullible American public today. That is, of course, the Forced Drugging of otherwise intelligent and normal children all for the sake of profit. If you have any shred of concern and decency for your fellow humans, learn the facts before you force powerful dope down your childrens or neighbors throats. Thank you.
