However, the ACLU opposes the government forcing people to recite the pledge. The most genuine patriotism is found in the hearts and minds of the American people. That's why the ACLU is opposed to imposing the symbols of patriotism on people. Drug abuse is a major problem within the American workplace, just as it is within society at large. But it is both unfair and unnecessary to force millions of Americans who are not even suspected of using drugs to prove their innocence through degrading and unreliable urine tests.
Employers have a right to expect sober, competent and safe performances in their work force.
The best way to achieve this is through supervision. And the ACLU believes that competent supervision, professional counseling and voluntary rehabilitation programs may not be as simple as drug tests, but they are a better investment in America. The ACLU strongly supports the right of a woman to a safe and legal abortion and to control privately her own reproductive system. The ACLU believes that personal decisions about family size and quality of life should not be decided for people by government. The ACLU always seems concerned about minorities.
