Journal vettenyy's Journal: NJ Schools testing for weekend drinking. 1

So I came across this article on FoxNews.com. Apparently, in a New Jersey school district, they are testing student's urine for weekend drinking. From the article: "Under the program, students who test positive will not be kicked off teams or barred from extracurricular activities, Reynolds said. Instead, they will receive counseling -- and their parents will be notified." This to me is clearly a privacy issue, since the test isn't even completely accurate. But what really sets me off, is that the test is "paid with federal grants." If the federal government is giving money to schools, why isn't it used to pay for classroom supplies to improve childrens education - or at the very least to increase teachers' salaries so they can retain good ones.
