MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO STOP DRUGS
I am writing a response to the article on Thursday, Jan. 17, "Sources:
Morris boys smoked pot." The article was shocking due to the fact that
marijuana was present during a sporting event. Many rules and regulations
have been made for drugs being present with students. The majority of
students are found with drugs or alcohol outside of school but not during
school hours or sporting events.
Drugs and alcohol are distributed in every school, including mine, and I
don't think it's fair for the whole team to suffer and not participate in a
game.
There needs to be a stricter system to make students more aware of the
consequences. Principals should be allowed to search students more often to
prevent marijuana and other drugs from entering schools.
