Regulatory Action is Unconstitutionaland Misguided
 

You are trying to demean the role of the parents in the guidance of a child.  That is unconstitutional and very unwise.  Parents are in the best position to make decisions for their child, not some board imposing their wishes.  These proposals would result in a ban on parents seeking their own counseling for their children.  That is morally wrong.
