STUDENT PROTEST COURAGEOUS

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! for Meghann Trott! It is inspiring to hear of a high
school student who took the road less traveled and stood up for her
civil rights by refusing to have her backpack randomly sniffed and
searched at Pleasant Valley High School. Instead of school officials
bemoaning the fact that Trott "defied authority," she should be
rewarded for understanding her constitutional rights and demanding
that her right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure be respected.

It is the Meghanns of the U.S.A. that are doing us all a huge service
by reminding us what it means to live in a free society and sadly, how
far we have fallen from our true American ideals.

Thank you, Meghann.
