Drug Testing?!

Should students involved in extracurricular activities be tested for drugs?

I do not think that kids in general should be tested for drugs. No kids should be doing drugs in the first place, but we still shouldn’t test them anyway. It is just a waist of money from the goverment. Parents should be making sure that the kids aren’t doing anything they shouldn’t. If we do test kids, we are only going to find out if they ae doing drugs or not, they will not make them stop doing it. We already have a health program telling kids not to do drugs, and its their decision to do it, though if we test, you are only going to pull the kid out of doing their activity, but your not going to be able to make them stop doing drugs. Ok, so say we do do the testing. You have now the knowledge of whos doing drugs and have pulled them out of their activities. Now what? Your not goign to be able to put a stop to their drugs, it will be their decision to stop. But of course, you will try to stop them from doing them, but it will fail. If the parents dont tell them to stop, do your really think someone from teh school board or government will get them to stop?! Good luck with that, then. Anyways, it is just a waist of money if we do drug testings. It is the parents responsibiility so get them to stop, do we need to the get school board involved!?!
