While the ACLU is protecting Hawai'i's public school educators, who is protecting our children? I am an employee who deals with public transportation. Drug testing is required pre-employment, randomly, for probable cause and after an accident. Why is this required of us? For the safety of public transportation. The ACLU says that drug testing violates Hawai'i educators' constitutional right to privacy. What happened to my privacy? I have no problem visiting the bathroom with a plastic cup, simply because I have nothing to hide. As a mother with a child in the public school system, I would feel much better if all teachers were tested, too. Darlene Tajiri Mililani - --- MAP posted-by: Beth Wehrman
