In Colorado, school based clinics (SBHC)  have become big business. They have been usurped by special interest groups to push radical "comp sex ed" and "mental health"  services at children, behind parents' backs. The school based clinic association even publishes materials such as "How to Overcome Community Resistance". High level state officials are also profiting from the expansion of SBHC, misusing state funds to do so, and even infiltrating our legislation to try and pass laws that further undermine parental rights and expand their patient base. We narrowly defeated a recent bill, backed by special interest and SBHC, to allow 10 year old children to be targeted with "mental health" screening and "treatment" in school clinics without their parents' knowledge, effectively locking children in to year-long psychotherapy at school, absent any second opinions, or parental review of provider credentials. The potential for misuse is enormous.
