DRUG TESTING VS. PRIVACY
Regarding drug testing in schools, I find it amazing that American parents
are so willing to give access to their children's private parts to anyone
who happens to work for the school system.
In order to conduct a secure urine test, the student's privacy has to be
violated. If there are any pedophiles who have managed to attain positions
of trust in a given school system, they are going to be climbing all over
each other to get put in charge of drug-testing duty.
