“Put off by constant urine tests, eighth grader skips honor society ”
Mighty good. They’ve created another libertarian. She sounds like a smart one as well.
Why aren’t we drug-testing teachers & school administrators ? Aren’t these sensitive positions that DEMAND clean behavior from professional employees ?

They don’t drug test teachers and administrators because they’d have to fire too many.
