ACLU challenges school drug dogs

Because the school system in Canton, Connecticut, is run by a bunch of fascists, it has a policy of searching students' cars for drugs.

These searches, which involve drug-sniffing dogs, are illegal - as they lack probable cause. But these days, everyone is considered a criminal - probable cause or not. This is especially true in America's slaughterhouse school system.

Indeed, false alerts by the drug dogs have resulted in over 15 students being yanked from class to watch cops search their cars and their lockers - only to find no contraband. I guarantee you that if this happened to me, there'd be a lawsuit lickety-split.

Right-wing observers are always complaining that kids don't spend enough time in school, yet they support depriving innocent students of valuable class time for this shit.

Now the ACLU is asking the school system to end its illegal searches. Right-wing observers like to grumble about the ACLU as much as they do about everything else - which proves right-wingers' hostility to basic constitutional liberty. Not like I needed any more proof, after the things I've seen over the years.

Will the school system budge? I hope so. If not, someone needs to sue 'em plumb to court.
