An 18 year old male agreed to a drug/alcohol random test. He proved positive for nicotine, and has been banned from his school prom coming up on the 4th of May.

The ICLU is taking his case. Mahon stated that he never smoked on school grounds and is old enough to purchase cigarettes.

Go to the site and take the online poll.

Take the online poll. Help this guy out! :)

The public schools have clearly become the pilot plant for the expansion of the Nanny State.

This is out of control. A thing that always bothered me about drug testing is the hipocrisy. A guy can get drunk every night and still pass the alchohol screen when his blood level gets low enough the next day. Someone could go to Amsterdam on vaction and toke up and get busted weeks later. Neither had broken a "law" or showed up to work under the influence. What is next? Cholesterol test for the ice cream eaters?

[SheLion]

That's for sure! The schools are trying to brain wash and mind control the students, and turn them out with cookie cutters.

It's going too far.

[pubmom]

Done.

[SheLion]

Thanks, pubmom.

What if he was wearing "The Patch"?

Second Hand Smoke

Which means absolutely nothing since Mahon wasn't smoking on school grounds, even if it WAS harmful. To which it isn't.

heck I remember smoking AT the prom, we also did a bit of drinking too. But back then Joe Camel was cool and Marlboro had great camping gear.

[SheLion]

I miss Joe Camel. I am glad I saved most of his logos.

"CASE CLOSED"

You can't be serious..........and tell me you aren't, even if you are.

Otherwise, I'll be forced to come to the conclusion that you're a brainless idiot.

If nicotine is on the banned list, him being of legal age to smoke it doesn't matter a bit. I hope all the facists, I mean concerned citizens/parents, who love drug testing will go along with this....

[bert]

He should not go to such a function at such a dispicable place.

[SheLion]

Thank you, RightOnline. It's "their" world, or no world.

If you know what I mean.

Probably never imagined all the stuff they'd start looking for once they got the lil' buggers used to whizzing on command.

Careful, sometimes liberals read* FR. Don't give them ideas.

Yup. I don't have much sympathy for this kid, other than the fact that the practice shouldn't be there in the first place. He agreed to the test. If it stated in a document he signed (and if he didn't sign some sort of document, he's a real idiot) that they searched for nicotine, and he didn't read it, well, he gets what happens to the rest of us poor saps who don't read the fine print.
