Fred,

Sorry, but I couldn't disagree more with what you wrote. In fact, what you wrote angered me to the point where I feel compelled to reply.

If we "might as well get used to" every stupid rule that misguided administrators and government officials come up with, might as well labotomize all of us now.

Apparently the administrators of this school are looking to send a message -- but the message is so misguided that if it weren't so dire and draconian it would be laughable. That message is:

"We don't trust any of you to stay away from drugs. And we don't trust your parents to do a good enough job to guide you about the pitfalls of substance abuse. Sure, we could ask you if you do drugs, but you could always lie about it, so we're not going to ask you since you're inherently untrustworthy. Therefore we will put our trust in chemistry -- which never lies --- and let the content of your urine determine your future."

If you're seriously interested in dispelling the fairy tale myths that kids grow up believe, so that they see the real world for what it is, you could start on a campaign to dispel the myth of Santa Claus. At first you'd be reviled, but in a few years' time you'd start getting love letters from poor and middle class families who could never really afford to spend so much of their hard-earned money on a bunch of overpriced plastic crap in the first place --- stuff that kids are brainwashed into thinking they must have by unscrupulous marketing people. Wanna "get real" about things? Let's start there.
