1169: Hockeystick Hoax
Pharmaceutical Drugging of Children, Ritalin and Prozac
Former teacher Barbie Rivera shares her experience with the over-medication of children in the public school system, noting that her own son was labeled "mentally handicapped" in first grade. She describes seeing five-year-olds who have been on Prozac for half their lives and the "shell of a body" effect these drugs have on young children. Rivera now runs an accredited private school that focuses on drug-free education.
