THE UNITED NATIONS

“To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their

individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism and religious dogmas.”

G. Brock Chisholm, first director of UN World Health Organization (1948-1953) co-founder World Federation for Mental Health

EDUCATION

“Every child in America entering school at the age of

five is insane…

…

“…because he comes to school with certain

allegiances to our founding fathers, toward our elected

officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a

supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity.”

SO…

“It’s up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well – by creating the international child of the future.”

Psychiatrist Chester M. Pierce, Address to the 1973 Childhood International Education Seminar

ENTER…

FULL SERVICE SCHOOLS

“One in four children growing up in America cannot become a healthy,

self-sustaining adult without immediate attention.”

“The primary institutions that have traditionally carried the

responsibilities for raising and teaching children— families and

schools —cannot fulfill their obligations without immediate and

intensive assistance.”

Full-Service Schoolingby Joy Dryfoos, 1994

“We must call on schools and community institutions to come

together in an organized movement to help young people gain equal

opportunities to grow into responsible adults. Schools have to become places

where all children can learn.”

FULL-SERVICE SCHOOLING

“The idea of full-service schooling has aroused

considerable interest. In the United States a range of

initiatives have been taken; and it has been considered as a

serious policy option in Britain and Australia. But what is it and

what issues surround it?”

Joy Dryfoos, 1994

“I have proposed the concept of full-service schools to convey the spirit

of this movement-

a revolution in the delivery of health and social services for this nation’s

children, youth, and families.”

Joy Dryfoos (1994) Full –Service Schools. A revolution in health and social services for children, youth and families, San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, page 205

ON THE ROAD WITH OKLAHOMA’S FIRST LADY (10-29-03)

Mark Twain Elementary:

“At this ‘full service school’ site, the Tulsa Alliance for Families

provides research-based programs, services, and

opportunities that are crucial supports for Mark Twain’s parents and children.”

ON THE ROAD, cont. (10-29-03)

“Utilizing a ‘wrap-around’ process of service delivery, in

partnership with the Alliance’s member agencies,

school-based ‘Student Success Teams’ focus on

providing a broad array of supports.”

ON THE ROAD, cont. (10-29-03)

“These include: extensive home visitation/outreach, assistance in

meeting basic needs, nursing treatment, referrals for medical

care and other community services, crisis intervention, individual, group, and family counseling, intensive family

support through case management services, parent

education, and family literacy.”

“The programs began in early fall and currently serve almost all the enrolled

students at each school as well as many of their younger siblings.”

“Plans are underway to expand these model programs to other area

elementary schools, including other area school districts.”

What About Funding? Inside Full Service Community Schools, Chapter 11

“Our nation cannot embrace the concept of full-service

community schools without a major commitment to funding them. If my figure of 22,000

schools with very needy populations has any validity, and

if it costs around $100,000 a year to set up the infrastructure, we're talking about $2.2 billion

for starters.”

“Sustainability is the desirable goal. What happens to these community school programs when the five-year grants run

out?”

“Perhaps the concept to pursue is entitlement,

meaning that every child is entitled to go to a school where he or she can gain access to the

supports needed to overcome the barriers

to learning.”

LAUNCHING SCHOOL BASED CLINICS- Tulsa

THE ROLE OF FEDERAL EDUCATION AND LABOR IN

SCHOOL BASED HEALTH CLINICS

Written Testimony of Karen R. Effrem, MDJune 6, 2000

Testimony of Karen Effrem, MD

“Provisions of, loopholes in, or goals of the Healthy People 2000 (*2010) Program, the Goals 2000 Educate America Act, the School

to Work (STW) Opportunities Act, the Early Periodic

Screening, Detection and Treatment (EPSDT) program

under Medicaid as outlined in the Omnibus Budget

Reconciliation of 1989 (OBRA),

Testimony, cont.

“Title I of the current Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)/Improving America’s

Schools Act (IASA), and a joint program of the Departments of

Education and Health and Human Services called Caring

Communities have resulted in…”

Effrem Testimony

“a massive restructuring and merging of health, education and

labor programs.”

Cont.

“The schools are “one stop shopping centers” for all these services. School –based or school –linked clinics (SBCs) are the vehicles and tax dollars, especially through Medicaid, are the funding mechanism.”

“The emphasis in our public schools is no longer on the academic liberal arts education required of responsible citizens in a free republic, but instead on medicalized (sic) and psychologized (sic) mixture of attitudes, beliefs, feelings, behaviors, and job skills. Our children are seen no longer as individual human beings with unlimited potential, but as human resources or human capital in a planned and managed economy.”

3 Disturbing Consequences

1. “The massive gathering of personal medical and family data from students.

2. The loss of parental control in the education and medical care of their own children…

3. The back door implementation of the Clinton health care plan…”

The Goals of Psychiatry and Psychology

“In August 2003, the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Science

Foundation announced the results of their $1.2 million taxpayer-funded study. It

stated, essentially, that traditionalists are mentally disturbed. Scholars from the Universities of Maryland, California at

Berkeley, and Stanford had determined that social conservatives, in particular, suffer from ‘mental rigidity,’ ‘dogmatism’, and ‘uncertainty avoidance,’ together with

associated indicators for mental illness.”

HEALTH CLINIC DEBUTS AT CLARK ELEMENTARY

‘Bedlam Campus Community Health Services Partnerships opened the clinic Jan. 6 at the

school, 3656 S. 103rd East Ave.’

Tulsa World, Jan. 25, 2005

Tulsa World article, cont.

‘Judy Hall, a nurse at Clark Elementary School, believes the new

health clinic at the school will improve students’ lives and help with

attendance.’

“Oh, my gosh. This is the most fantastic thing,” said Hall, who has been at the school since November. “You have to meet children's basic needs before you can teach them to

read, and that's what the clinic does.”

Tulsa World article, cont.

‘Hall is assisted in seeing to the students' medical needs by the clinic's

full-time physician's assistant, C.J. Dark. A social worker and a

pediatrician who rotates among Bedlam's school-based clinics also

will be part of the clinic.

Dark, who graduated from Wichita State University's physician's

assistant school, can write prescriptions.’

Berkeley High: A Sex Ed Success Story

by Laura Lambert, 1/27/05. Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

“Enter the school-based health clinic, founded in the early 1990s..…Berkeley is a prime example of what can happen when the state, the city,

the school district, and the community band together to provide teens with the support they need to

get through some of the most precarious years of their lives.”

Berkeley High Success story, cont.

“Although the clinic provides high quality first aid, its real strength lies in the myriad services that

improve teen health: mental health counseling, on-site HIV testing, pregnancy testing and counseling, access to EC and

other birth control methods, and strong peer education and

outreach programs that deal with everything from narcotics to

nutrition.”

Berkeley High Success story, cont.

“One hidden benefit of having so many services located in one

clinic is what Kaukonen calls "a natural cover" for students

seeking sensitive services, such as HIV-testing. "There is so much first aid and other services at the clinic, nobody knows why you're coming in," she says. The clinic reinforces this feeling of safety with its commitment to privacy

and confidentiality.”

Berkeley High Success story, cont.

“The impact of such a system cannot be overstated. Already, Berkeley High's health center

has been a safe haven for students fraught over an

unintended pregnancy; students who are seeking honest answers to complicated questions about sex and relationships; students who, in a time of need, do not

need to be judged. Says Namkung: "I think, frankly, we've

saved a lot of lives."

Mental Health Screening

President Bush (44) rejoined UNESCO (2003), “where we could develop common strategies to prepare our children to become ‘citizens of the world.’ ”

The ‘New Freedom Initiative’ (2004) – a ‘mental health screening initiative’. President Bush.

“Mental health screenings may be attached to the current vaccines most children are required to receive to attend public schools.” (Cuddy, 2004)

Mental Health

“…Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Alger Hiss, 1946, WHO

“Education for Mental Health” (Use to be Hygiene)

“…It’s (robotry) objectives…the ultimate destruction of the human individual as a person…” Here among academic surroundings a carefully arranged schedule of indoctrination has been prepared by the National Education Association.”

(Dr. Lewis A. Alesen, Mental Robots, 1957. Former President of the Calif. Medical Association) (Cuddy, 2004)

to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in

giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one

day to find that they have Communism.”
