Note how intellectually mature this 13 year old is — was not aware that 13 year olds are by definition incapable of understanding the risks/potential benefits of drugs. The zero tolerance policy in schools completely undermines the development of youth intelligence — not to mention overriding the potential judgment of sane reason minded parents — although, I do not postulate an absolute right for parents to control their children. Alas, they do frequently violate ethical obligations to youth. The Randian view does strike me as the best. A person willingly engaged in the raising of a child has obligations to that child — the child has no obligation to their parents.
The ACLU may be more conventional then me, but they do a hell of a job. Without them, America’s freedoms would be in much more danger. I give this left-liberal outfit two thumbs up.
