MOUNT ZION This fall, students wanting to participate in extracurricular activities at Mount Zion High School will have to consent to the district's recently adopted random drug testing policy.
The Mount Zion school board approved the policy May 4, applying to all students who participate in sports, clubs, driving and parking at the school. The policy also extends to school dances, banquets, the graduation ceremony and any activity organized and sponsored by the district.
High school Principal Kraig Garber said a large committee of school board members, administrators, teachers, parents and students meet on an annual basis to discuss changes to the district handbook, and for the first time, a parent proposed implementing a random drug testing policy this year.
Students' health and well-being is our No. 1 priority, and we want to promote good decision-making, Garber said. The idea is not to catch kids; the idea is to deter them and give them a reason to say no to those temptations.

So reasonable, so harmless, so good for them. Our future leaders, if we want fascists who believe you have to prove your innocence.
Btw - but at that private school across town where they teach your "betters", they don't do that. They really aren't better than you, but they are being taught they are.
And now, so are you.
Get comfortable. It's easier.

There is a quote by Frederick Douglass...
"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. Frederick Douglass."
I think he was incorrect as many people still are today. You have to repair the broken men (and women) before you can build anything else.
