The school directly mentioned in the article is private so, unfortunately for the students, that's life. This (drug testing) is creeping into the public school system, though.
» Like Christian Brothers, schools around the nation have been trying to determine what's helpful and what's over the line when it comes to testing children for drugs. I even think it's garbage (though backed by the Supreme Court) that those participating in extracurricular activities are being randomly targeted. If I were a student, I would show up to the next school board meeting asking why they're not testing their teachers. I'd be willing to bet you'll find a few positives. You want an example of facism? It's called the public education system.
