The website looks very MVC - ish to me. Microsoft or not. With some backbone.js thrown in there.

It's no different than a Microsoft.com site. Or the Apple.com site. Or any of thousands of other websites.

One difference is they work.

The issues with Healthcare.gov have to do with bandwidth, database bottlenecks and poor page-behind coding. None of that is going to manifest in the page's source.

True. Unless it's JS.
I see your comment was very specific to just viewing the source. I was making a snide remark about how crappy healthcare.gov is, not just it's source.

A suburban Chicago Catholic high school has begun randomly testing students to see if they've consumed alcohol in the past three months.[^]
Are they going to punish students for underage drinking if they test positive, or punish them for not attending Mass if they test negative>

Catholic Schools are private. If the students don't like it they have other options.

I'm not questioning it's legallity; I'm calling it idiotic. Since they're also testing for drugs it's clear what they think they're looking for; but any good Catholic kid is going to have traces of alcohol processed through their system.

Well I went to a private school that had drug testing and zero tolerance so ...

None of the above, because if it doesn't happen at school, it's none of their damn business.

So if school starts at 8:00 and the person downs a few beers at 7:45 off of school grounds, that's okay? Students and teachers alike?

Maybe? How many beers? Being drunk in school / at work is kind of "happening at school" I suppose

Test for the Last Three Months is not at all relevant to the 'drunk at school' concept.
Drunk at school is an issue of it's own. Drunk last month whilst on holiday is none of their business.

Absolutely!
In that context, and considering the general flow of responses, I'd like to repeat the question - but towards those who find it acceptable, in any way, for an organization to intrude in the private affairs of those within its thrall.
Answers, effectively saying, "if you don't like it, leave", or "it was like that when I was in school" - they're the problem to which the threads title should refer.

Is it ok for a police officer to run a meth lab in their house?
Is it ok for an emergency room doctor to conceal that they have contracted hepatitis C?

Per your answer, in the form of questions:

Per your answer, in the form of questions:
It's not OK for the policeman (or non-policeman) to run a meth-lab in their house. Aside from legal questions as to manufacturing controlled substances, the use of solvent in such an environment is a hazard to his/her neighbors. They are no danger, however, to the policeman's precinct or other person's place of business (assuming they don't live next door). Bet seriously, you are asking if it's OK for a person to break a law.
The emergency room MD with hepatitis C is even further from the issue: they are bringing the problem to work with them (analogous to the kid coming into school drunk, although a bit more hazardous). In this case, the condition is current, a clear an present danger to others. Again, not relevant to the issue of what someone did, in the privacy of their own home, that apparently affected no one and would never be know or affect others (at the school). The MD, on the other hand, is more like a student bringing in a bottle to pass around.
Protecting people from being hurt by others is a far cry from investigating something that effect no one - and would never even be discovered with the invasive testing.
The difference (what you do to yourself vs. what you do to others) should be obvious. If not, ask around.

No I am asking if it ok for a police department to make, as a condition for employment, that they do not break laws when they are not working. The meth lab is a specific case of that. There are other cases such as DUIs.
W∴ Balboos wrote: The emergency room MD with hepatitis C is even further from the issue:
Nope. They contracted the disease on their own time. Thus the hospital is making the condition of their employment that they cannot contract certain diseases on their own time. And if they do contract them they can no longer work for the hospital.

That is an assumption on your part. For example there are a great number of people that would claim that being an alcoholic is something that always hurts someone - the alcoholic. And perhaps not as large a set but still very large that claims an alcoholic hurts others. For example the impact on the family, co-workers and employers of such individuals.
Many claim the same about other addictions.
And a private institution, like a hospital or police department, can restrict employees. And a private school can place even more restrictions on the participants.

The perceived injuries caused by addiction are not limited to the individual with the addiction. If you didn't already know that you should ask around.

No, but either one could go to Nevada, booze it up, rent a friend for the weekend, and return to work on Monday.

The real problem is knowing that alcohol is still in your system 3 months later. Just one more reason not to drink at all.
Is it school rules to not drink? If so, what's the problem with testing for it?

They're testing hair, which ends up accumulating traces of whatever was in your body as it grows. It also offers an easy way for someone to evade the tests.
