Parent power is a potent force in getting kids to stay away from drugs and alcohol and cigarettes, and it's greatly underutilized.

Drugs and alcohol have infested our schools and threaten our children and their ability to learn and develop their talents,

The more often kids had dinner with their parents the less likely they were to smoke, drink and use drugs.

Hopefully the message is getting out and the kids are getting wise on what drugs and alcohol can do.

Parents raise hell and refuse to send their kids to classrooms infested with asbestos. Yet every day they ship their children off to schools riddled with illegal drugs. When parents feel as strongly about drugs in our schools as they do about asbestos, we will have drug-free schools.

To be honest, drugs and alcohol are bigger concerns right now than steroids. Those are huge problems with kids right now. So if you test for steroids, you have to test for all drugs. And if you test kids, then you also have to test coaches and teachers. You have to hold that standard across the board with everybody.
