Socialism Coming to a School Near You - School Based Health Centers

Dr. Spock told parents how to raise their children, but, at least, he didn't take them away and do it for them. He was a pacifist who was opposed to spanking. Now following in the footsteps of the Nazis and Communists, your child will now be raised by those who consider themselves your "betters".  They will also not spank your children, but will choose any medical care they deem appropriate, including abortion, without your knowledge. How convenient is that?  You no longer have to raise your own children.  The state will do it for you, albeit with your tax dollars.  What a world.  Mrs. Doubtfire has become just one more casualty in the unemployment line, losing her job to the government. That government is coming to a school near you under the guise of a  School-Based Clinic -  in Round Lake no less.

The Round Lake School Board held an open meeting on November 28th to discuss plans for the implementation of a School-Based "Health Center" (note the change in language from clinic to health center).  Here's some of what we learned -  The government expert explained that parents would initially be required to sign a "consent" form for their child to receive treatment from the health center.  This parental consent would then be "on file"; after which there would be no further necessity to notify parents, and the child could come in for any medical treatment, with or without the parents knowledge or consent.  She further explained, that Illinois law regarding minors and the Right to Consent to Health Care, states that children from the age of 12 on up, may receive medical care without parental notification. So the parental consent form seems a mere formality, with no substance.  Once they've got your signature, they've got your kid; which under Illinois Law, they can treat with whatever medical treatment they deem fit.  Consider the myriad of medical situations - physical, psychological and even sexual reproductive matters.  All of these would be left to the discretion of your local socialist school based health center professionals, who I might add, won't even be doctors, but physician assistants.  

Parents were allowed to address the Elected school board members with their questions and concerns; one of which was understandably, whether or not their child could be taken for an abortion, without parental knowledge? The government official, very condescendingly, responded to such an ignorant parental fear by saying, "that "we" (your betters) would certainly encourage your child to "consult" with you their parents."  "However, if your child was "not comfortable" with consulting you, (inferring your child could not trust you), they could access needed treatment without consulting you." How benevolent of them!  If you daughter discovers she is pregnant, and is afraid to come to you as her cruel and judgmental parent, she will be able to turn to the loving arms of your local socialist school based health center physician assistant, who will compassionately refer her for an abortion!  You need never know about it.  Is ignorance truly bliss? 

Other parents also questioned the lack of funds for school expansion and programs. One parent questioned the rational of implementing a health center when the educational needs of the students were far from being met.  The father brought up the fact that the school could not even provide an adequate math class to meet his daughter's level, and the girl was forced to attend classes which were beneath her ability. This required the parents to supplement her education at home.  Another parental comment regarded the sports fields, which the school provided, compared them to cow pastures. These and other educational concerns of parents, questioned the source of monies needed to pay for a school based-clinic, when other "educational" needs were from being met.  The government "expert" once again, condescendingly answered these ignorant parental concerns regarding monies, claiming that all of the money would come from government grants.  Now, any government expert should know, whenever a school-based clinic is placed in a community, the government funds run out within the first year, necessitating the local taxpayer to begin picking up the tab.  Don't forget this is duplicate funding, because the taxpayer is already paying for the local health department.   

Over the past 40 years or so, we have witnessed a slow progression of parental rights being attacked.  Dr. Spock, styled himself as an expert in child-rearing, whose advice was religiously followed by many World War II generation parents. Advice on child-rearing is one thing. Today there are books and experts galore,  to choose from on the psychology of child-rearing.  The key word here is "choose".  It is one thing to seek advice.  It is quite another to have your choice completely taken away when it comes to the upbringing and formation, and even health care of your children.  And this parental takeover has not happened overnight! 

Back in the 1950's, popular television shows such as "Father's Knows Best", and Leave it to Beaver, depicted parents as the persons in possession of the wisdom and knowledge which could be sought out by their children.  As time went by, television shows, as well as movies, began depicting parents as foolish, conflicted imbeciles, who ultimately needed to be straightened out by some wise 7 yr. old guru.   As a girl of the "sixties", I recall the popular phrase, "don't trust anyone over 30".  Some very clever socialistic person obviously crafted this phrase as just one of the first of many steps in the takeover of parental authority over children.

Today, we have our local Socialist School system in place, which seeks more and more to take away parental authority and any choice, or even knowledge, regarding their child's formation.  Are we surprised at the widespread sexual abuse of our children, by those in power within our school systems, public and private?  Children have become commodities, mere objects.  A commodity is not looked upon as a person who is loved by someone, but a mere object to be used however one desires ... even if that desire is disordered. 

Hillary Clinton made the famous statement, "It takes a village to raise a child."  This was just another chink in the armor of the parent's role in choosing how to raise their own child.  Their child now belongs to a village ... or more aptly in today's vernacular ... the State ... and that state will now raise your child, and see to all his or her medical needs.  I don't want to even think of what all those needs the state might consider necessary.

You can view a shortened video of the meeting I shot without all the yada-yada stuff at:

There is a link in the description for viewing the entire 1.5 hour meeting.

This SBC needs to be STOPPED! Signing an initial consent form should not become a 'blanket' consent. Local parents need to start protesting on a new online forum created at:
http://www.RoundLakeSchoolDistrict.com to let the local administration that we DON'T want this in our schools.

I can't believe a person calling himself pro-life would oppose providing health care to children.

This health center deserves our full support, and perhaps instead of denying immunizations, sports physicals, dental check-up and other primary, preventative care to children, we can work to create a parental consent form that we find more acceptable.

This is an embarrassing post. This is why people doubt our sincerity.

What Doug fails to acknowledge is that there are already doctors and dentists in the area where children can get the things he mentioned and the parent IS AWARE of what is being administered. Even in years past, poor families managed to take care of their children without a school-based clinic being involved. Since when do we want to turn over our parental rights to some do-gooders whose only real prupose is to get between us and own children, especially into their heads. Do we need some pill pusher administering uppers and downers to our teenagers without our knowledge? Just look at what happened to Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson after years of drugs being prescribed. Are you also naive enough to believe these medical records, showing drug use, will never be made available to a court system even though parents are being left out of the loop? Dream on, my friend!

Visit www.RoundLakeSchoolDistrict.com and view the three case studies showing what is being doled out and how even insurance claim forms are being modified so that they don't 'accidently' go to the parents home for them to see what is being administered. Totally unreal!
