Indiana district might drug-test students

Constitutional rights? If you're in the New Albany-Floyd County school district in Indiana, forget it.

The district is planning on implementing a new policy requiring students to take a drug test - and not just those who participate in athletics or extracurricular activities.

The American Academy of Pediatrics opposes drug testing in schools, because it's ineffective. But a greater point is that it violates constitutional protections against unreasonable searches. Indiana courts have already outlawed school drug testing even if it's limited only to athletes and members of school clubs. The greatest point of all is that this ruling is rooted in constitutional law - the law of the land.

So how does the Floyd County school system expect to enact drug testing? By bipping? With so many of America's schools run by people who hold the Constitution in contempt, I have no doubt Floyd County will try to find a way around the ruling and even disobey it outright.
