I agree with Stacy Peckham's Aug. 24 letter, "Pandering," regarding random drug testing in public schools. Under the guise of safety we are allowing our children to be treated in ways we as adults would never accept. Would you allow someone to search your home without a search warrant? Well, without probable cause, we randomly search children entering school. We have put them in mandatory uniforms and punish them by suspending or expelling them for actions that a few years ago would have only warranted a detention or reprimand. I believe there is an agenda in this country to raise generations of children to believe they have no rights. Gail N. Allemand Hahnville - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
