Goodrich School District (MI) to consider random drug testing for students

Goodrich School District to consider random drug testing for students

Goodrich-New School Board President David Cramer made his first message to the district very clear—drug testing students is needed.

"I'd like to test as many students as possible in the districts whether it's tied to obtaining a parking pass, athletes or extra-curricular activities," said Cramer during the Monday night school board meeting. "I want the idea to get out there and the community to start thinking about it. I have been on the board for four drug-related expulsions, in addition to more suspensions then we'd like to have."

Cramer said the high school policy committee along with Superintendent Scott Bogner will begin the process of establishing guidelines for the drug testing.

"Students today see medical marijuana in the community and even legalization (of marijuana) in some states," Cramer said. "I'm thinking some students are viewing it as accepted—it's not."

The rich kids won't be in for the random test. Period. Only the ones they want to get out anyway. They will hound those until they finally get a positive drug test on them or they just leave to prevent themselves from going to jail over trying to attend school.

That this tool isn't embarrassed for calling for examining children's urine for "drugs" while real serious DRUGS are prescribed like M and M's to everyone they can sucker is a prime example.

It's insanity on display. Yet so many go along, the insanity starts to replace reality.

And here we are.

How many school shooters have been on "drugs" like Cannabis?

And how many have been on real drugs like Prozac and Luvox?

There is a reason this link is being ignored by "officials" and the media. What is it?
