ARGH!!! There is also no real education about responsible use of alcohol (and certainly not of other drugs) and instead they spend money on this! (I don't consider that telling high schoolers not to drink counts as educating them to be responsible. Even if they wait until they are legal, will they know how to drink and not get messed up? If I had a dime for every completely wasted person I have seen who is of legal drinking age, I wouldn't have any money worries. Also, it may be that is is possible to use "harder drugs" responsibly, but that doesn't get taught at all. How many overdoses are due to ignorance, plain and simple?)
I don't think that locker searches, surveilence, and random drug testing are really meant to ensure the safety of school kids. I think that the real purpose it to get them used to giving it up to The Man. I agree with Janelle Brown on that. That way, when they grow up, they will be all ready for the USA PATRIOT Act.
OK, I should go to sleep before I really start sounding paranoid.
