Sign away the right to do drugs, so they do not corrupt MY kids? YES! One
thing people seem to forget in all this is that these are CHILDREN we are
talking about. So-called "rights" are routinely taken from them, and must
be for their own protection, most obviously drinking, smoking, and
driving. Furthermore, I believe that schools MUST act in loco
parentis. They have a RESPONSIBILITY to inspect lockers on SCHOOL property
for drugs, guns, etc., just as parents should check their childrens'
rooms. In return for the right to get an education, the students should be
expected to shoulder the responsibility to behave themselves.
