And while we're at it, check for guns and make them pull their pants up.
Also check for copies of the Bill of Rights and make sure they're illiterate and will never be aware of their civil rights so they can be systematically abused by government for the rest of their life as well.
I think the parents will need to decide if their child is subjected to that.
Geoffrey,
Illegal drugs are a plague on our society.
Random searches should be of all students and not "profiled" students. The public good and maintenance of a reduced or drug free school system is crucial for a schools' success.
If you begin drug testing at schools on any level, then the hordes of lazy parents in this city will then abandon what little efforts they might have made to determine if their kids are on drugs. Instead, they will say its now the school's responsibility to check for drugs.
This is a home issue, that should be addressed by parents. Our schools should be just that, schools, as in places to learn, not places to police unrelated behavior.
