Privacy Rights, Psychiatry and Safety

The Middlesex DA laments teen violence in schools. Privacy rights conflict with school safety. This results from misguided public policies and the deterioration of the family as a priority. For a generation researchers know that one parent families create a high likelihood of juvenile problems for young men and women. But liberal policy makers led by Harvard elitists encourage single parent homes. The other element of this conflict is that privacy rights of students prohibit sharing of information of "special education status." Students with behavior problems are often placed into special education because of the deference to the Therapeutic State promoted by the psychiatric industry.

Students who say or do things that psychiatrists do not like become mentally ill, and are placed into special education classes. They may just be young thugs but psychiatrists are paid to give them drugs instead of punishing them due to their lack of appropriate rearing. The proliferation of criminals being treated with psychiatric drugs adds to this problem which in turn demonizes persons with disabilities. The schools do not make a distinction between criminals and harmless special education students.
In addition when a doctor is negligent and a patient dies, patient privacy is used to prevent learning what the doctor did wrong. But in this situation students have no political clout and their privacy rights are violated in the name of safety.

Learning is diminished by psychologists in the schools. Treatment is not education. With more one parent homes sending young students to school who do not have basic social skills the schools are disrupted. Public policy encourages disruption of schools and the psychiatric industry diverts attention away from learning.


[From article]
"Sometimes, this information sharing gap is because we are relying upon a parent or guardian being the messenger; or a complete copy of individualized special education records are not properly transferred;
[. . .]
privacy rights are important and must be protected, so long as the information that is legally and lawfully allowed to be shared is indeed being provided to those in charge of keeping our children safe."
