• Aclu Challenges Drug Testing of State Workers

MIAMI - The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida is suing Florida Gov. Rick Scott over ordering drug testing for all state employees, regardless of suspicion. The ACLU says the measure is an overreach of the Republican governor's powers and intrudes into employees' private lives. Scott's order expands drug testing to all employees, not just those who drive, carry weapons or deal with children.

• Wanted: Donors with Backbone

James W. McGlothlin, chairman and CEO of The United Company of Bristol, Va. - and a former member of The College of William & Mary's Board of Visitors, and a longtime donor - withheld his pledge of $12 million to the college. He made his decision because of the actions taken by Gene Nichol, the college president, who ordered the removal of the cross from Wren Chapel.

President Nichol was a chapter president of the American Civil Liberties Union for North Florida, and an ACLU board member in North Carolina and Colorado. The ACLU has maintained an attack on religious symbols for decades, but usually through the court...
