LOSE RIGHTS TO MAKE A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE
I was outraged to read that a parent filed suit over a drug testing
policy. I never gut into trouble and was a straight-A student from
elementary through high School, but that didn't stop me from
experimenting with drugs, which led to a five-year battle with
addiction and an even longer time to get my life back on track. I wish
my school had had a drug testing policy. I might have been spared a
lot of heartache.

I don't know Mr. Tannahill, but I do know Lockney because I have lived
in the area all my life. It is a good town with churches, a good
school system and a lot of wonderful people. Lockney, with drug
testing, is trying to make the community better. Who is this hurting?
Sometimes we have to lose some rights to make a better place to live.
