STUDENT DRUG TESTS

To the Editor:

"With Court Nod, Parents Debate School Drug Tests" (front page, Sept. 29) 
ignores the salient point that we are currently engaged in a war against 
terrorism. A war to defend "American values."

The Bill of Rights is, for all intents and purposes, America's 10 
Commandments of Freedom - the bedrock of this nation's value system. At 
this critical time in our history, we should be encouraging our children to 
stand up for their rights - not surrender them.

Walter F. Wouk, Cobleskill, N.Y., Sept. 29, 2002
