WHY IS THE CHICAGO SCHOOL SYSTEM WELCOMING CORPORATE DRUG PUSHERS?
RESIST PSYCHIATRYS WAR ON KIDS: PROTEST CHADD
KIDS NEED RESPECT, NOT RITALIN!
Since 1987, the organization Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder has vigorously promoted the false illness of ADHD and drug treatment as a solution. Theyre funded in large part by the makers of psychiatric drugs, including Ritalin. With the theme of Diversity, Equity, Empowerment at their 2000 conference, theyve set their sights on diagnosing and drugging millions of underserved Black and Latino kids and girls. And CHADDs new CEO, Clarke Ross, is a former lobbyist for the for-profit psych hospital industrya man whose job assured that the routine deaths in those institutions escaped investigation.
ADHD has never been proven to be biochemical or genetic. Ritalin only works for short-term control of children, and hurts kids developing brains and bodies. ADHD is a convenient way for schools and society to cover up their flaws by labeling kids. Which is why its so alarming that the CEO of Chicago Public Schools, Paul Vallas, is the welcoming speaker. Let CHADD and Chicago schools know they cant get away with this chemical warfare against children!
