If my hair had been tested for drugs in the '60s . . .

CBC high school is a private institution and has the absolute right to drug-test its students. Furthermore, high school kids should not be using illegal drugs.

Still, I get chills when I think about the school's plan for mandatory drug testing. Part of it is the libertarian in me. We are a free people - although getting less free all the time - and none of us is guilty until proven innocent.

The presumption of innocence should include high school students.
