Although I support the suppression of illegal drug use and enforcement of the nation's drug laws in most respects, this decision is stupid, wrong, and wrong-headed. There is not much of an intellectual leap from randomly testing school students (who are REQUIRED by the law to be in school) to randomly testing Joe Nosepicker in his double-wide. The slippery slope is wide, yawning, and especially slimy on this one.

I think the Apocalypse is coming... I completely agree with you. This teaches kids all the wrong things, and is based on strange logic (extra-curriculars reduce expected privacy(?)) and poor percentages to boot (a school with a supposedly bad drug problem tests 500 kids and gets 3 positives?)

I have to go rest now. The shock has rendered me woozy.
