Topic: Does Suspicion less Drug Testing of High School Students Violate the Fourth Amendment?
Over the last decade, there has been an increasing interest concerning the testing of high school students for drugs among administrations across the country. According to the National Federation of State High School Associations, testing athletes for drugs began in the mid 70s.

Rogan claimed that, “The only way to have drug-fee schools is to follow the successful program of the military and the workplace.” This proposal was known as the Parental Consent Drug Testing and Counseling Act. This act was costly, calling for 1 billion dollars each year for testing and counseling services. ...
