SHOULD SCHOOLS RANDOMLY TEST KIDS FOR DRUGS?

Testing makes no sense

We're going to institute random drug tests on students, which will 
cost a pretty penny in itself, not to mention the school district 
will possibly be defending itself in court over the inevitable legal 
challenges?

The state is also mandating a curriculum that is going to force local 
districts to compete nationally to find and hire math and science 
teachers from an already depleted pool.
