Rails - Nov 2005 - Cancel validation in subclass

Quick question,

I have a class which has a validates* declaration to validate the model. 
Specifically it has a validates_presence_of declaration. In a subclass 
of that class I want to get rid of this validation. Is there a way a 
validation can be removed?

class Upper < ActiveRecord::Base

     validates_presence_of :imported_beer, :if => :upper_class

     protected

     def upper_class(yuppie)
         yuppie.class == Upper
     end

end
