In a do-gooder’s drive against recreational and performance-enhancing drugs, Reno’s McQueen High School wants to launch a program of random testing for all football players this season, making it the first area school to do so. McQueen's in an affluent part of northwest Reno.
Green Valley in Henderson and Battle Mountain High in, uh, Battle Mountain, started testing a few years ago.
This is the “guilty until proven innocent” treatment so popular in the “freedom loving” US of A these days.
However, it won’t do a lick of good unless parents and siblings are tested, too. Drug abusers, such as drunks and tobacco hounds, get their first clues at home. Family values start in the home.
If parents pop pills, kiddies will, too.
