Does this happen elsewhere? What a joke. Not to mention they’re testing hair.

We had random testing for students in sports, not the whole student body.

Yes, but it wasn't really random at the High School I went to. They only drug tested the problem kids.

We had random testing. Catholic school.

The “random” tests would always involve like 5 known potheads and 1 Asian 4.0 honor student to make it seem random.

It’s not a problem if you aren’t using.

I assume that's a private school? They can do what they want. I'm pretty sure my kid's school tests the HS kids. I don't particularly agree with it though.

My old employer used to do random drug tests. About once per month the testing truck would be in the parking lot when I pulled in for work.

Out of 200+ folks, the same 20 or so were always “randomly selected “.

I had poked fun of the GM at a party one Saturday...nothing big...just friendly ribbing.
I was “randomly selected” the following Monday mornig.

“We believe now is the time to start this wellness initiative because of the growing threat of drugs and alcohol to adolescents,” Tyrrell said in a written statement. “Like all teenagers, our students face constant pressure to experiment with illegal substances.”

St. Xavier officials said the school is following the lead of local Catholic high schools and other Jesuit high schools
The priests at that school are tired of their victims being doped up and unresponsive during their encounters.

You didn’t hear that only white kids in Maga hats get chosen for a random drug test these days

This needs to start in middle school. Hair tests. We need to do something about these little weedheads they’re destroying our country.

That stuff pisses me off. Where I live, parents have to consent or they can't do it. People are so stupid for letting this happen to their kids. Any parents with kids doing drugs has already failed and this won't help.

They also bring dogs through the parking lots and hallways. Clear violation of 4th amendment rights. Nope, judges allow that ridiculous assault on rights. It is not the school's job to be handling this stuff. I dislike drugs as much as anyone but it's not worth sacrificing freedoms, which we clearly no longer have.

I hate this "safety" bullshite they always use as an excuse to pull this nonsense. Random drug tests are a total farce
