Wichita Falls schools jumped on the drug testing band wagon. Those that test positive are suspended from playing sports for a period of time + a 2 week school suspension.
So the kids who have a problem get a 2 week vacation and hinder their education.
makes so much sense...
"Officer posing as high schooler
leads drug sting"
This was in the Boston Globe today. Seems as though a young female undercover officer went to school in Falmouth, MA and bought drugs. No need to drug test em there. Turns out they arrested 4 seventeen year old, 4 sixteen year olds, and one 14 year old.
I can't believe this. Undercover in a highschool. Is this nuts or what?
