The CDC’s new model for public schools will be called community schools. In this model, public schools will offer mental health and medical services to students. This has already begun with the infusion of the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), which is SEL-Social and Emotional Learning.
What does this mean for students in a public school? They are now subjected to pseudo-psychology instead of learning how to read and write.
As schools begin shifting to this model, we are already finding serious problems:
1) Two young NH children were vaccinated this year even though their parents sent strict instructions that they did not want their children to receive the vaccine.
2) A parent in Maine was surprised to find out that his daughter was given a bag of Zoloft pills at the School-Based Health Clinics without his knowledge or consent. (SBHC) The side effects of Zoloft include suicidal thoughts. After addressing this with school administrators and withdrawing his daughter from the school, he was visited by Child Protective Services. Eventually cleared by CPS, many now question if this was retaliation.
3) Michael King from the Massachusetts Family Institute reported that a 16-year-old girl was implanted with a birth control device in her arm without her parent’s knowledge or consent. The implant required the girl to undergo a medical procedure in order to place the implant in her arm. This was done at the SBHC.
4) Students in New Hampshire who’ve visited their school counselor have had their personal mental health information shared with vendors hired to report to the federal government on the MTSS-B.
If all of this wasn’t bad enough, now we have NH Republican Senators proposing legislation that allows school districts to contract with a healthcare provider, health system, or community partner to establish a school-based health center for the purpose of providing services to students beyond the scope of school nursing services. Since when is it the goal of Republicans in the Senate to set up the CDC’s School Based Health Clinics?
This proposed legislation does include a provision that requires parental consent, but this does not guarantee parents will be notified or have to consent. It is possible they will ask parents to sign a blanket permission slip at the beginning of the school year without realizing that they are handing their children over for treatment they would not approve of. Parents are required to sign a lot of paperwork at the beginning of the school year. Some may believe that this would simply allow their children to be seen if they are running a fever or for a stomach ache.
According to the SBHC in Maine, they do not need parental consent to treat a child because they receive funding from the federal government.
How far can this go? In East Stroudsburg, PA, 6th-grade girls were forced to undergo a gynecological exam without their parents’ knowledge or consent. Some people are willing to go that far, believing parents should have no part in these medical decisions for their children.
Since hospitals struggle to keep hospitals staffed, does it make sense to pull staff from these medical facilities? Schools already provide nursing services to their students. Can you imagine requiring more of these medical professionals to staff these SBHCs?
There is no respect for parental authority by those who promote the CDC’s Community Schools. While this legislation includes parental consent, even with consent, mistakes have already happened in New Hampshire. When you remove parents from their children when receiving medical care, you can expect more of that.
It is shocking to see these sponsors on SB343: SPONSORS: Sen. Innis, Dist 7; Sen. Gray, Dist 6; Sen. Carson, Dist 14; Sen. Murphy, Dist 16; Rep. Wolf, Merr. 7 It is important that you act now.
Contact the Republicans in The New Hampshire Senate and demand that they kill Senate Bill 343. If you can, MAKE a PHONE CALL!
Call these Senators AND send them an email asking them to KILL SB343.
We do NOT want the CDC model in our public schools.
