DRUG TESTING SHOULD BE FOR ALL STUDENTS

I just read the article about Fairfield School District  wants to do
drug testing. That would be great but they  have to do it to all
students. Not just the ones in  sports, clubs, etc. There would be a
problem with this  with all parents in the district and I don't blame
them  if they complain and get angry.

I know what it is like to have children in school. If  my children
were in sports or clubs and they would have  to take a drug test, I
would definitely have a big  problem with it. To keep drugs and
alcohol out of the  schools, consider doing a drug test for every
student  in grades 7-12. That way you are not targeting one  group of
students, but the whole student body.
