DRUG TESTING SHOULD BE UP TO PARENTS

Drug testing of children should be between the child and the parents -with 
their own money - without intrusion by the schools or the state. Stop 
asking the government to raise other people's children with my tax dollars.

Making people urinate on demand beginning when they are very young 
desensitizes them to the governments' war on people's privacy, personal 
liberties and dignity in the name of  "the drug problem" which, in reality, 
is a prohibition problem. Hitler and his Nazi youth groups would be proud.

The drug war also promotes, justifies and perpetuates racist enforcement 
policies and is diminishing many freedoms and liberties that are supposed 
to be inalienable according to the Constitution.
