June 18, 2007 - The Honolulu Star-Bulletin editorial, "Testing should deter teachers' drug dealing," on the new random drug testing for teachers included this telling conclusion. [Bolding ours.]
One can only conjecture whether random drug testing would have prompted Kugle or Anzai to halt their illegal activities or seek help within the Department of Education. What is known is that teachers have been able to engage in illegal drug use and dealing without being detected and exposed by colleagues.TT - We've often wondered how teachers can conduct 6-month or 2-year sexual relationships with students or be addicted drug dealers and other teachers at the schools could be completely unaware.
Maybe a few random lie detector tests for other teachers after a teacher is arrested would determine whether they failed to report the abuse as required by law.
