So, NY State just recently passed a law stating that our school can drug test anyone, at any time, with a reasonable amount of suspician. As long as a teacher can justify drug testing a student, he or she will recieve 5 days suspension, as well as a hearing with a school official. The drug test will be a saliva test, which can be thrown off with even advil or other common OTC pills, which some people need in order to operate daily. The test can test up to 4 weeks prior to the testing, so, the test proves NOTHING. I know plenty of people that smoke marijuana outside of school, and never smoke before or during school. Refusal to take the drug test is an AUTOMATIC confession, and a 5 day suspension.


I am seriously thinking of transferring schools. I bet I am on the top of that list to be tested. I never smoke or drink or do any illegal drugs while I am in school. I never abuse any substance before school either. This is a HUGE invasion of privacy, and I think the whole idea is rediculous. I think what I do at home has NOTHING to do with what I do at school, and its bullshit they are suspending me for it.
