The Purpose of Education

I'm not a user either, ever. My point is about singling out one group. If you support drug testing for all jobs, that's swell. If you think specifically teachers should be tested because you have issues, that's different.

I for one support it if the job requires it, Teachers along with Doctors etc. should have no problem with taking one, they have to realize they are dealing with peoples lives. Now a worker at mickey-d's, I really don't care if they have to take one, if they screw my order up I'll go back, but I would'nt want some crack head teaching my kid.

Actually, you should care more about that kid serving your food. Children have died of food poisoning from McD's while adults have merely gotten horrendously ill. In addition to anyone working in food service, anyone who drives for a living, anyone working in the health care field, all lawyers and judges and police and security guards, all congress-persons (I can't help but think some laws were made under the influence) should be randomly tested.

I will have to agree with you there.
