DRUG TESTS INVADE PRIVACY
DeForest Rathbone of the National Institute of Citizen Anti-drug
Policy (Letters, Oct. 5) may be comfortable with forcing drug tests
on schoolchildren, but I am not.
Children in school now will one day shape the policy and values of
our country, and cannot be conditioned to accept such blatant and
indiscriminate invasions of privacy.
Our Founding Fathers amended the U.S. Constitution to secure the
people from general searches, the very epitome of which is requiring
drug screening for all schoolchildren.
