DON'T IMPORT FAILED AMERICAN DRUGS POLICIES

Bravo to your editorial board on the fine call for caution in the case
of the testing of school children in Britain. As you mentioned, the
practice here in the US has been a complete travesty. Informing
children on the one hand that they live in the most free country in
the world, and then on the other hand instructing them to march down
the hall to urinate in a bottle. If that is not a type of social
schizophrenia, I don't know what is. Don't follow the lead of the US
government -- it knows not what it is doing.
