THIS IS UNFAIR TO KIDS

Editor, Daily News:

Drug testing for children who drive to school should be out of the
question.

Athletes make that choice to open up to health questions and concerns.
The child who drives to school should not have to put his personal
health information up for review.

There are students out there who will test positive because of
prescription drugs -- true medical needs. Why must they have to defend
themselves by having to disclose what medicines they take? This is
personal information.

You are concerned about their safety. I feel the accidents I have read
about over the years are more weather-related and small in number.

If you feel you need to do this, then you better include everyone --
staff downtown, principals, teachers, anyone employed by the school
system. For every child tested, make sure percentage-wise you test an
employee.

Lighten up, you are not their "big brother."
