Schools use dogs to sniff out drugs
Schools are using dogs from private companies to sniff out drugs. Well, prohibition is working! I mean, you gotta keep the system in place, otherwise those dogs wouldn't have a job to do! (can you read the sarcasm?)
Among them is Green Bay High where a dog was put through its paces around lockers and bags belonging to students and staff in November. Principal Morag Hutchinson says the practice is becoming quite common. This doesn't mean it's right! If you take that logic, drugs are common too. I guess that makes it right :)
"There are members of the community who see schools as places where they can ply their trade," she says. "I'm quite keen to make sure the environment is as safe as it needs to be."
The search did not turn up any drugs or illegal substances and Mrs Hutchinson was pleased with the result. Well, perhpas your kids don't do drugs! Why pay from the school's purse for a search that is totally useless, and quite frankly puts students in a 'don't trust' mind set!
Is this the school that paid $22, 000 for a 5 year search. How many books or computers that would have paid for?
"It all went quite smoothly," she says. "It was a very non-intrusive exercise." More intrusice than you think. It's something that you can't measure.
Students can expect further random exercises next year. Why? ya didn't find anything!
Mrs Hutchinson wants to send a clear message to the community. "Illicit drugs are not acceptable in our school," she says. But YOU DON"T HSVE ILLEGAL DRUGS !!
Up to four west Auckland schools have used the services of Elite Dogs in similar random searches. Spokesman Paul Thomas says the company takes a proactive approach.
Its handlers have backgrounds in the police force. And ya wonder why the kids are disrespectful to lay enforcement!..tags! talk back!
Mr Thomas says random searches act as a deterrent and ensure the safety of students in schools. Bunckum!
Avondale College principal Brent Lewis says he has not felt the need to bring in sniffer dogs.
"But I won't preclude it."
A number of other schools are also thinking about it.
Waitakere College acting principal Cliff Edmeades has raised the possibility with his board of trustees.
He says the concept is worthwhile as an "educative thing". A WHAT? Educating kids that you have to FEAR the law and cops!
"Kids have to face the fact there are a lot of drugs around," he says. Not shit Sherlock! "They need to know what the consequences are." Oh, why is this article published in mainstream news?
