Have our education officials lost their mind? Across-the-board, mandatory drug testing for every student? Not only are there serious problems with
false-positives, what sort of "remediation" do they have planned for students that test positive? Also, such a regime would've devestating impacts
on "school climate".
First we had DARE, which if anyone noticed at the beginning of the year, a report put out by the GAO found that DARE students were MORE likely to use drugs than those who did not participate in the program. Instead of looking for another curriuculm, we're just going to test every student..? Ridiculous.
I would like to think that this is a direct violation of the 4th ammendment, but the SC did rule that schools can require tests for athletes. This could become reality..

BOSTON (AP) -- President Bush's drug czar told New England governors Wednesday that drug testing in schools would be an effective way to combat a growing problem of drug use among young people, but area school officials caution there are problems with it.
The region's six governors and John Walters, director of the Office of Drug Control Policy, met at Faneuil Hall in an anti-drug summit focusing on New England's heroin epidemic.
New England has more people ages 12 and over dependent on illegal drugs than any other region of the nation, according to Walters.
