RANDOM DRUG TESTS KEEP WORKERS HONEST

The American Civil Liberties Union's threat to sue the Lingle
administration in federal court is a fine example of the secular
progressive agenda of that organization.

The governor's action is geared to provide added protection to the
students of this state and she is to be applauded for it. The ACLU's
intent is to destroy the fundamental principles of the country by
needless and costly suits.

To think an employee must be free of any performance-related scrutiny
doesn't make sense. Random drug testing has been used for years and is
not a violation of the constitution of this state or this country. I
read both documents again and cannot find anything close to it being a
violation.

Random drug testing is a valuable option to the employer, and
ultimately the public, in an attempt to keep people honest and to
reduce the exposure of our youth to drugs.

I definitely say NO to drugs when it comes to the youth of this
state.
