I was shocked when my middle schooler told me that school authorities will come into class, unannounced and wand down every kid as he sit's in his seat, and go through back packs.

The teachers all have walkie talkies, and the camera system I saw in the VP office is like a prison, they have to have at least 60 cameras inside and outside that building, every move is monitored.

I wonder about the psycological effect this has on our kids and what it is teaching them.

Why are you shocked? Why wasn't this procedure explained to parents before the first day of school? Why did you have to learn about it from your child?

Maybe this is just getting them ready for the future. Kids today are cowed. They don't have the rebelliousness of kids of 20 years ago. They just sit there and and take it.
They go along with pee tests in order to take part in extracurricular activities. What they should realize is that there are enough activities after school to take part in that don't require pee tests. There'll come a day when they'll be expected to let the authorities poke around inside their bodies and they'll just line up like sheeple.

I would hate like hell to have to attend school in a situation like that.

If the authorities tried to do that 20 years ago, there would be a riot and parents would contact a lawyer.

Columbine really did away with civil rights.
