THIS IS A WASTE OF TAX DOLLARS

Canadians are too quick to collectively sign away our rights to
privacy. Public schools should not be allowed to deny access to a
locker (that my taxes pay for) to a student or parent who will not
sign away their privacy rights.

Locker searches are a waste of time and a waste of more of my tax
dollars. Intelligent kids would thwart them with subterfuge. I am
completely against drugs in school. I am all for the education of our
children and better parenting. Parents should not sit and wait for our
schools to do their jobs for them. They should openly discuss moral
issues with children so that they can make educated decisions.

The long-term impacts of teaching children that it is ok to infringe
upon their rights to privacy is a terrible loss to the developing
understanding of freedom by the future leaders of our society.
