yes, I would support that drug testing policy.

as for the statement that kids don't follow the rules, while true, there are some kids that do follow the rules because they don't want to jeopardize their standing. I am not sure what good it is to have rules if there are safety nets in place for the good kids that occasionally screw up. In an age where so many kids contribute so little to their schools, I am inclined to give the high school athlete/activist a break, because they are at least contributing something back to the school. When it comes to drugs, tobacco and alcohol, not only do these actions violate school policy but they are breaking the law. Little eyes are always watching your programs and part of being somebody's hero requires that you abide by a higher standard.

I am not sure what action brought on a 5 day suspension but it would have to be fairly severe. Fortunately most universities no longer put much stock into GPAs so maybe while that student is suspended enjoying his day off he could be prepping for his ACT and working on his purpose statements for college.
