Mandatory Drug Testing
Drug abuse is a major problem in our society as a whole and increasingly within our youth. In recent years, many school districts have implemented student athlete drug testing programs within their schools. Athletes were targeted because student athletics are voluntary and represent their schools and thus are held to higher standards.
Drug testing has only been introduced recently, yet it has stirred up a national debate. ...
In the first half of this class I did a case summary on student athlete drug testing, which wound up being resolved in a Supreme Court hearing. In the Vernonia school district in Oregon all student athletes, between the grades of seventh and twelfth, were required to participate in drug testing. ... Drug education seminars or suspension from the team for two athletic seasons were the penalty that one faced if their test result were positive. ... The Supreme Courts 6-3 decision ruled against the Actons, finding that “public schools with drug problems can subject their students to drug test.
Although the Supreme Court ruled in favor of student athlete drug testing, in 1995, many state courts started to rule otherwise.
