Topic: Special Education

The guests discuss the high rate of Ritalin and Prozac prescriptions for school children, linking it to federal funding incentives. They argue that schools receive more money for labeling children as "learning disabled" or "special education," which they claim dumbs down the youth. The panel suggests a conspiracy between pharmaceutical companies, psychologists, and the government.

A high school senior named Amy calls in to share her experience of being placed on Ritalin in the first grade and labeled with a learning disability. She expresses regret over the "snap decisions" made by the school system. The hosts encourage her to educate herself independently through reading and to seek alternatives to her current Prozac prescription.
