The news, again!
I was watching KSL 5 news the other day and heard a very interesting story about a new drug testing policy in Davis county schools. I grew up in Davis county I started paying attention! They are trying to drug test student representatives randomly (officers, cheerleaders,drill team, athletes, etc.) I think this is a brilliant idea. I know of a lot of people at my high school (and a few teams in particular) that had a lot of problems with substance abuse. Our drill team was pretty much known for their drinking, drugs, and sex and the football team wasn't much better. My senior year, it got to the point where our drill team girls were coming to school and even performing at games under the influence. Other schools would yell at them/ our school collectively and make fun of this widely known problem they had. I don't know why our school never drug tested, or kicked anyone off of the drill team. I was a cheerleader in high school and we would have been kicked off so fast if we had any of those kinds of problems. I think drug abuse is a big problem in high schools everywhere and I would definitely be supportive of random drug testing, especially among student representatives.
