COMMUNITY HAS FAILED KIDS ABOUT DRUGS

I am disgusted and outraged that my property taxes are being used to 
support a school system that has student drug and alcohol problems.

The fact that the Blaine County Community Drug Coalition finds it 
necessary to propose a policy for mandatory student drug testing for 
the Blaine County School District is disappointing. Seemingly, the 
problem is rampant at Wood River High School, where 66 percent of 
students are using alcohol and marijuana regularly. With a community 
that has attempted to introduce the legalization of marijuana, what 
can you expect? And where are the parents in all of this? Any idiot 
can have children! It takes an intelligent and responsible parent to 
raise smart children who make good choices in life.
