Teacher drug tests tossed!

Under a new right-wing policy by the Kanawha County school system in West Virginia, 25% of teachers would have faced a random drug test each year.

But now a federal judge has blocked the new rule - because it's an unconstitutional search.

Good. It's about damn time this horseshit got tossed!

A school board member cried about the teachers' union opposing the drug tests "when they should be holding our hand in unison."

Sounds like the school board is upset because not everyone wants to march in lockstep to their tyranny. And you know that if they don't get their way in court, they'll keep appealing it until they do. It's a hell of a way to squander tax dollars, but school boards aren't known for fiscal responsibility these days.
