DRUG TESTS ARE DEMEANING

I am very disappointed by the failure of the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold 
the Fourth Amendment ("Justices rule random drug tests, safety above 
privacy rights," Florida Today, June 28).

No longer can we say "innocent until proven guilty." Now our children must 
face random searches of their body fluids as a part of their education.

By subjecting kids to demeaning, dignity-robbing drug tests, we are doing 
far more harm than good.
