Drug Testing in Public Schools, A Good Idea?
We have all heard about random drug testing in our respective places of employment and in professional sports, but what about in public schools?
The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy recently announced that it would be holding four regional summits promoting random student drug testing in public middle and high schools. The program, which has actually already been implemented in almost 1,000 schools across the country, requires that kids submit to random drug testing if they would like to participate in sports and other extracurricular activities.
