Damn right! I for one am happy that we have dog searches and piss tests. I want blood tests too.
Whine on you little loser punk puke.
Freakin pukes! What's a little piss when compared to living in a police state?

You need to reread the Constitution, although I'm not sure you'll understand it this time either.
Exactly. The school cannot make students take a drug test as a condition of showing up to your classes, as your attendance is required by law. They can only test students after probable cause, or as a condition to participating in optional activities, extracurriculars, etc.
Schools may have established the right to randomly search bookbags and lockers, but, IIRC, not to search your person, at least not without cause.
Forcing a student through a metal detector before they can attend class would seem to violate this principle.
Metal detectors are weapons used to protect the unarmed.
Then he'll just exercise Mr 2nd Amendment and be done with the kids.
If they wanted to keep young people safe they wouldn't have public schools.
We used to have metal detectors at our schools in the late 90s. The kids would still get guns in using lead boxes. I'm sure there are a hundred other ways of getting a gun past a security point.
I like that idea. All kids should come to school packing. If someone gets the wise idea of trying to use a gun on someone for no reason, he knows he'll be taken out quickly.
Really? Here on planet earth they merely detect the presence of a certain density of metals.
I got the "police state" line before when discussing my frustration at people who make conscious decisions about violating "minor" laws when they don't think that they'll get caught (traffic laws and such).
I'm not being coy, I'm just curious, what do you consider a police state to be?
Exactly. I wish we had something like that here on Planet Free Republic to detect the presence of a certain density of mentals.

The reason for bringing guns to school these days have changed. It's no longer to hunt animals; it's to hunt Christians. Remember Columbine? Do you believe in God? Boom!
Um - yeah - ok...sure....
One word: prozac
Damn right! This stupid kid doesn't realize that the forth amendment was already repealed by the Bush administration.
It was about time too, it was a dumb amendment.
Now that we have gotten rid of the 1st, 2nd and 10th as well, let's get to work on the rest.
Damn right! I for one am happy that we have dog searches and piss tests. I want blood tests too.

Calling this "public education" is a stretch.
Abolish public education government schools.
Damn right. We need to impeach Bush and cheny and install Hugo Chavez to show us how to run a country.

--What a surprising comment, what happened to freedom and questioning authority?
I argee that he MIGHT be a punk, but maybe he is a furture patriot.
What about metal detectors set-up at the shopping malls, supermarkets, movie theaters, coffee shops, and a variety of other retailers surrounding your house. Sure it would be a hassle, but at least YOUR safety would be increased. See where that kind of intrusion could get under your skin?
I'm not calling you a bootlicker, but there are plenty of FReepers who are inclined to do virtually anything the government demands of them in the so-called pursuit of safety. We just don't live in a perfect world.
