In the "Daily Record" there was a article about a possible random drug testing for Morris Hills Regional District students. This would apply to students would be driving to school and for athletes. The students would not be subjected to suspension if found positive for a drug test, but would have to attend a rehab center. Initially I thought this was a great idea to keep drugs out of the high schools. Then as I kept reading on, I questioned about would the parents approve of this? Who do you subject to a random drug test? Somebody who looks/acts like they are taking drugs? And what if the teacher is wrong? Do the parents have the right to sue the school for harrassement? I think that the random drug testing can do some good, but can potentially do some harm to the faculty,school and to the students.

To tell the truth I don't think it should be random. Teachers in my school knew who were selling, taking drugs and did nothing about it. Stop the problem where it is, don't bring innocent students into it.
