Abstract

Medomak Valley High School in Waldoboro instituted a drug policy that bans hats and backpacks and includes random locker and car searches and a once-a-month visit by drug-sniffing dogs. School authorities believe students were hiding LSD in the brims of their hats,and using the caps to cover their faces. Twenty students last week refused to attend classes in protest of the policy, but returned to school with plans to bring an alternative proposal before the school board. The Maine Civil Liberties Union is considering filing a legal challenge against the policy. Details.
