JUDGING YOUTH

ROSELLE -- Jeffrey M. Gonyo's June 2 letter criticizing random drug tests
for students was right on target. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of a time
when young people would be judged by the content of their character. Today
we settle for judging young people by the content of their urine. Adults
are telling youth that negative test results are much more important than
positive actions. If King could see how our society equates chemical
integrity with moral integrity I think he would be very disappointed.
