DRUG TESTS WITH NO DUE PROCESS? START HIGHER UP

If we start taking civil liberties away from students  in public 
schools without due process of law, it will  be much easier to 
continue to take away their civil  liberties as adults, such as 
through illegal wiretaps  ("Drug-testing program sparks rights 
debate," Aug. 3).

If we must move in the direction of random drug tests  without due 
process of law, we should start with the  agencies, boards, 
commissions and their staff that want  to move this country in that direction.
