Liberal big brother rears its ugly head
Notice how he said the kids is the "states" responsibility. Not the parent.

"For students in Illinois, mental health screenings will soon be required alongside annual vision and hearing exams.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill into law Thursday that will require public school students in grades 3 through 12 in the state to undergo a mental health screening each year.
The change will go into effect in the 2027-2028 school year with at least one screening per student required annually, according to a press release from Pritzker's office.
Pritzker also said the new legislation makes Illinois the first state to mandate universal mental health assessments for public school students.
"At a time when our kids are struggling with anxiety and depression more than ever before, it's our responsibility to ensure that young people have all the support that they need to get the help that they deserve," Pritzker said in remarks at the signing ceremony."
