I don’t have a problem with it either. My daughter was on the soccer and cross country teams in high school and was tested. When she graduated, she went to the Air Force Academy and was tested there, too. I was in the military and was tested periodically. The sensitive nature of my job now makes me subject to periodic testing as well.
In many schools and other situations, the authorities don’t actually watch them urinate. The temperature of the urine is measured within 4 minutes and if not above 95, it is discarded and a specimen collected under direct observation.
I’ll say it. What are you worried about?
My taxes that fund the school going to pay for this crap for one...
In certain jobs-yes, it’s a necessary evil. I don’t want my school bus driver with a drug problem driving my kids, but these are minors, kids that are 12 and up.
This is how facism comes to your town-with a smiley face for the good of the children!
Small minded authoritarians who have no shame when they say something like that.
Wow...only 18 posts until that was thown out.
“I’ll say it. What are you worried about?”
What are YOU so worried about such that you believe people should be tested for drugs? I am worried about Constitutional civil rights and that is far more to be concerned about than a high-school sports team.
Were you not involved enough in her life that you could not have determined if she took up drugs?
Now I have kids of my own, and the closer they get to their teen years, the more vigilant I become about what they might be trying to put into their bodies. I don't mind the public schools acting as a back-up.
Extracurricular activities are voluntary. That includes abusing drugs.
