In case you missed it, yesterday's KNS has this:

For health officials, the testing is a valuable tool in battling the growing spread of gonorrhea and chlamydia, especially among the juvenile population.

For some parents, the testing is the usurpation of their authority and obligation to make sound decisions concerning their children's health.

The irony part: the complaining parents had picked up their kid at juvenile detention. No comment regarding authority or sound decisions.

Some statistics from the article are disturbing. The voluntary testing at the juvenile detention center has revealed three cases of STD in 12 year olds. Six percent of 14 year olds tested positive, as did 9.2% of 16 year olds and 9% of 17 year olds.
