LOOKS LIKE UNION IS AFRAID OF TEST RESULTS

As a parent of children in the Hawai'i public school system, I am
outraged by the teachers not being randomly drug tested.

It's disturbing to think that there is excuse after excuse for not
being tested.

People are randomly tested in other occupations that don't even deal
with children. Some occupations even require drug testing before a
person is employed.

What are you folks really afraid of? If you're not on drugs, it
shouldn't be a problem. Unless the state and teachers union are afraid
of what they might find! Because that's what it looks like. Teachers
are responsible for our children's well being and education while in
school. Stop making excuses. You folks really look bad, and it looks
like you have a lot to hide from the public.

It seems to me you don't want to have to deal with the results from
the testing. Obviously, the well-being and education of the children
of Hawai'i isn't that important to the teachers union.
