HAVE SCHOOLS GONE TO DOGS?

Who would ever have thought that it would come to this? Random searches in 
middle schools being done by dogs! As the drug war has escalated, drug 
prevalence among kids has actually increased. This should not be a 
surprise. It happened during alcohol prohibition. Read the resolution 
passed unanimously in April 1930 by the Women's Organization for National 
Prohibition Reform. They spoke of the "... the shocking effect 
(Prohibition) has had upon the youth of the nation ..."

We adults have forgotten what forbidden fruit means to kids. Perhaps if we 
moved away from drug prohibition, those dogs could go home.
