BIG BROTHER IS COMING! Here in NJ, one of the school districts has decided that all High School students should be screened for drugs. They have just instituted a policy (effective with the coming school year) to force all students to submit to lab tests designed to detect drugs. If traces of drugs are found, they plan to notify the student's parents. I had heard no mention as of yet as to whether the law enforcement agencies will be involved but it does seem possible. The A.C.L.U has vowed to fight this - I don't blame them. Paul Stevens - mtuxn!fjpls If u cn rd ths, u 2 cn bcum a prgrmr & mk bg $.

The original plan would have required students to produce the urine sample in the presence of a doctor, nurse, or technician; positive results were indeed to have been turned over to the police. Both of these points have been dropped.

That will gain attension fast! But, if I was still in school and they did that here in calif I would proably be flushing M-80's down the johns. -- The above views may or may not be the views of Lunatic Labs. --
