The Supreme Court put high school students on notice that if students want to be in extracurricular activities, they may be required to take drug tests.

I don't think that students should have to take drug tests at all. This includes playing sports. What we do in our off time is our own business and nobody else should know about it.

The government feels it is preventing, deterring and detecting drug use by doing this testing, but consumers can go to any store and buy pills or liquid to clean their systems out.

If drug testing becomes a reality, the student can give the answer he wants them to have. Plus, drug testing is a waste of money, and that is something Louisiana doesn't have.
