DEMEANING OUR STUDENTS

I am very disappointed in the failure of our Supreme Court to uphold the 
Fourth Amendment of the Constitution ("High Court Widens Schools' Right to 
Test Their Students," June 28). No longer can we say, "Innocent until 
proven guilty." Now our children must face random searches of their bodily 
fluids as part of their education.

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