| What's your opinion of this....should schools have the right to drug test their students?

| no...If they find evidence that they have drugs at school then they should have a consequence for that. They should not be able to drug test them though. That's overstepping, IMO.

| It's justifiable to drug test in work places because you want to make sure your pilot, your mechanic, your guy in the bulldozer, isn't higher than a kite and knows what he's doing, in school? What, you want to find out if they flunked their test because they're stoned or if they were just stupid?  | |

| No. We've already discussed locker searches but this is not the same thing. Lockers are school property. Students aren't. The one exception I would make would be for athletes to test for PEDs.

| Absolutely not. If a kid is found with drugs or comes to school noticeably under the influence, then either their parents or the police (or both) should be called. | |

| A private school may have a remote chance to pass random testing rules, but public Schools must follow public law, and this includes Constitutional Rights. They couldn't get away with this. | |
