ONE STEP AHEAD, TWO BACK

The Senate takes one step forward, and the Surrey School Board takes two 
steps back.

What a disappointment.

Emulating the U.S.'s flagging war on drugs is a detriment to Canadians as 
individuals and as a society. The only drug the school board is going to 
find in these schools is marijuana, and until concrete evidence proves 
marijuana is truly harmful, this militaristic approach must be stopped.

These searches violate privacy, and this right is sacred to people of all ages.
