Stop RFK Jr.’s Attack on School Mental Health Screenings Now

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s call to end school mental health screenings is reckless. These screenings help identify serious issues early. Removing them puts vulnerable kids at risk.
Doctors and psychologists agree these tools are not overreach. They are simple, proven methods to identify children in need. Early intervention prevents bigger problems later. Claiming that all mental health care creates stigma is wrong and harmful.
This is not an isolated mistake. Kennedy has dismantled expert teams at the CDC and FDA. He fired vaccine and nutrition advisors and promoted fringe ideas. These actions weaken our national safety and mislead the public. Health policy must be based on facts, not fear or politics.
Restore evidence-based leadership. Reinstate experts. Reverse these reckless decisions. If Kennedy refuses to protect public health, he must be removed. We need leaders who trust science and care about our kids.
