Every child gets a psych eval?

[Horn6721]

a NY bill
'Would you let your child be tested like this?

After several school shooting including in Newtown, CT., there is now a bill in the New York State Assembly that would require every child in public school to have a psychological examination before they could go to school.

The test would be mandatory whether or not a child showed signs of emotional or psychological problems.

According to the bill, the results of the test would be attached to a child's health certificate.

Here's exactly what the bills says:

"Each such certificate shall also state that a psychological examination was performed and that the child is mentally fit to permit attendance at school."The Link

I doubt that will ever pass. Sounds like a bill the Psychiatry Lobby wrote and found some sap state congressman to sponsor.
