the worst part about it is that they want to prevent drunk driving with it....if you want to prevent drunk driving, attack that problem, not underage drinking in general. THey should be viewed as two separate problems
A good example is MADD: when it was founded, it was against, like it's name says, DRUNK DRIVING. Now it's against alcohol consumption in general, which cause its founder to stop supporting it. She wanted to teach kids against drunk driving, not responsible drinking.

That is the worst thing they could do. Making more rules isn't going to stop kids from drinking, the government is retarded.

BONER, without drinking there really isn't anything fun in high school. now kids will just smoke a shitload of pot of they get tested less for that. real smart.

It says all that's going to happen is the parents will be notified and they will get counseling. Seems like it would be easy to just blow off the counseling and a lot of parents are pretty chill.

well it sucks if you attend Pequannock Township High school, but they will probably only do it if you are a bad kid. They're not going to do it if they dont suspect you

the school already drug test kids. that's bullshit. they go to a public high school. private, maybe, but in a public school that's going too far. it'll create more problems then solutions.

as much as alcohol is illegal for teens and as much as drugs are illegal in general its still dumb. So thats the schools job now, to get kids in trouble. Let me ask the supervisors of that school what they did in highschool, fucking people

come on - quit your whining and give me ONE real reason why this is illegal or should not be done - Just one
1. My tax money goes towards public education - school taxes and special assements for my school district are not cheap
2. Why the fuck should drunk/high kids be allowed to go to school
3. Aww no more fun - well kiddo grow up, school is your job, get over it - You want to be treated as an adult - well geuss what sparky, in the real world you show up to work drunk/high you get fired
get over it and deal

basically
it would inspire me to get fucked up. cause they can never give you a ticket or anything, cause you cant get an mip cause there is no alcohol technically left in your system, just the remnants of what makes it up!

The EtG test costs about $20, Reynolds said. The school's overall testing program is funded by a three-year, $120,000 federal grant.
i think new books and stuff like that is more important than some kids who decide to have some drinks. there are many better things they could do with that money

1. Right, this school is funding this program (which costs 20$ a piece) through a federal grant. So the first reason this should not be done is that if it caught on (which it wont) then the government would have to dole out money for each public school to do this sort of thing. Meaning you pay more taxes, thats not real good is it?
2. Come on, "why the fuck should drunk/high kids be allowed to go to school?" Is a retort necessary?
3. "School is your job" well then your job doesnt typically regulate what you do in your off time does it? No one shows up to school drunk, this test determines if kids have had one drink in the last 80 hours. and school regulating what you do in time you are off their property is an invasion of your privacy.

Thats bull shit. Its totally against the constitution. That violates the search & seziure law. Theres not probable cause. there just taking away our freedom a little bit at a time. All the parents say "good, now my child won't drink and drive and kill himself" but they don't realize that freedom is more important. It just pisses me off, shit like this.
I live in New Jersey and Pequannuck is like a minute away. In my school they have a voluntary drug testing program. A girl I know was on it and she obviously doesnt drink because shes like a perfect girl and she came up with like .2% alchohol and she almost got suspended.

Eh buddy did you even read the article?
It states that their testing for WEEKEND drinking, not drinking AT school, but drinking on the WEEKEND. Completely and utterly different.
