[Quote]the plan to impose random drug tests on Kanawha teachers and other school personnel has been shot down by U.S. Judge Joseph Robert Goodwin. He said the county school board showed no evidence of rampant abuse or any actual harm. Therefore, to impose urine tests on many innocent teachers would violate their right to be safe from “unreasonable searches” as guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights.

“A concrete danger must be an actual, threatened danger and not some perceived potential danger,” the judge wrote. “To justify such a suspicionless search, I must not engage in a speculative exercise to find remote risks of horrible disasters …. A train, nuclear reactor or firearm in the hands of someone on drugs presents an actual concrete risk to numerous people – the same cannot be said for a teacher wielding a history textbook.”[/Quote]
