WI Pee-In-A-Cup congressman is back. (Joel Kleefisch)

Now he wants parents be able to force their kids to take these unreliable tests.

Proposal: Parents could ask for students to be drug tested

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A state lawmaker plans to introduce legislation that would require high schools in Wisconsin to test students for drugs if their parents request it.

Some legislators and school administrators resisted a proposal from Rep. Joel Kleefisch (KLAY’-fish) last year for statewide random drug testing of students participating in extracurricular activities or parking a vehicle on school property.

Kleefisch says his proposal would require testing only if parents asked for it. The Oconomowoc (oh-KAH’-noh-moh-walk) Republican says he’ll introduce the bill in the Assembly in the next two months. He says it’s a way to combat increased heroin and other illegal drug use without mandating random testing.

If found with drugs in their systems, it's out the door with them.

(I believe this passed in another state as a response for drug testing for welfare)

I doubt he would pass. He's one of out embarrassments in Wisconsin. Walker made Kleefisch's wife, a former news reader of the blow-dried airhead variety, our fricking Lt. Gov. FFS!!

Wisconsin is a disaster area.

As far as I can determine, although some German names go back to a time when words had different meanings than they have now. Anyway, his wife is the Lt. Governor.
