SCHOOL DRUG TESTS ARE VITAL
Why is it that every time someone comes up with a good idea, the so
called do-gooders try their hardest to shoot it down in flames?
Random drug testing in schools can only do good. We must not only drug
test the students, but also the teaching staff. I fail to see the
argument of the P & C and the civil libertarian groups that oppose
this move.
Surely, if we can find out about drug use in its early stages, we have
a better chance of rehabilitating these people before it's too late.
People who are in opposition to this move, should go to Cabramatta and
see the desolation that is caused by drugs. Congratulations to St
Andrews Cathedral School and any other schools that are thinking of
adopting this procedure.
