I just heard of a school district that is going to require drug testing via urine sample of ALL middle school and high school students before they're allowed to participate in ANY extra-curricular activity or receive a parking permit. To participate or receive a permit, they must sign a consent form to be drug tested, presumably at random with no cited frequency limit. If they sign the consent form and then refuse to provide a sample, they face suspension. My first thougth was "they're going to court." But I guess the catch is that it's only for extra-curricular activities and parking. Obviously manipulative, as what middle or high school student (and their family) would not be heavily inconvenienced by suddenly being prohibited by both of these things? On the flip side, I happen to know this school has a serious drug problem. On the flip flip side, that doesn't justify blanket searches that include individuals for which there is no reasonable suspicion of crime. But wait, they're manipulated into signing a consent form So I guess the question is, can a school "arbitrarily" prohibit individuals from extra-curricular activities and refuse to assign parking permits?
Edit: I say serious drug problem... It has an "average" drug problem at best, I believe.
