Today's Poll!Suit alleges students pulled from class for drug tests
Saturday, September 17, 2011
Linn State Technical College came under fire earlier this week for its mandatory drug testing policy, and is now being sued by five of its students.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in federal court in Jefferson City by ACLU attorneys, alleges, “on or about Sept. 7, 2011, Linn State officials began removing students from class in small groups in order to conduct the drug screening.”
Tony Rothert, an attorney for the ACLU of Eastern Missouri, was one of the organization's representatives on campus Tuesday.

....and the story unfolds! Linn State asked the ACLU to assist them in developing the policy. I wonder how much of a conversation there was and WHAT it was.

The only reason NewsTribune posted this, was for the Dean to keep giving out his 2 cents. Either way he will be losing a lawsuit soon

That's what I would like to see happen.
