TEACHERS' DRUG TESTS WILL HELP STUDENTS

I don't see the reason for all the fuss about drug tests for 
teachers. Many educational departments across the country require 
this as a term of employment. If you got nothing to hide, then what's 
the big deal? Personally, I think all state employees should have to 
go through random drug tests as it makes the workplace safer. If I 
had kids in the Hawaii school system I'd be clamoring for this kind 
of action. I was rather surprised to find that teachers weren't 
required to do this. From what I've seen of the lackadaisical school 
system here maybe this is just what is needed.

Imagine how much more students could accomplish if their teachers 
weren't more stoned than the students.
