Madison public schools may deploy drug-sniffing dogs.

The proposed K9 sweeps will take place outside of school hours, when students are in classes, and when there are "exigent circumstances."

There's a FAQ at the link. Excerpt:

Will the dogs sniff employees’ desks and belongings too?

Typically desks are not in school common areas such as hallways and storage facilities....

Won't certain groups of students be unfairly targeted for drug sweeps? How will you prevent racial and ethnic bias in conducting checks?

Hey, that's easy. Don't use a racist dog!

By the way, I completely support this program. I'd even be fine with the dogs sniffing the employees' desks. The state compels children to go to school, and most people meet this requirement by accepting the public schools. Obviously, dangerous criminal activity in schools should be solved. What about the students who are just carrying small amounts of marijuana to school? As the FAQ says:

Prevention of drug-related offenses is one way to keep students on the right track and reverse negative patterns. The potential for getting caught deters students from bringing drugs to school.

That's just one more thing to learn, kids.
