Should drug testing in school be allowed?

JUST PRETEND

As a group, all of you have been selected to be part of a task force to decide whether random drug testing should be allowed in your school. It is your job to ensure that the student body is fairly represented in all decisions that the administration makes. Because of increased drug use in your school, the principal wants to start randomly testing students for drugs who wants to participate in any kind of school activity, such as band, athletics and even debate. Your duty to the students is to investigate whether this is legal, as well as, whether it should be allowed in your school. Remember, you are the voice for all the students in your school and your position on this issue should be the result of careful, thoughtful research and what is best for the school as a whole, not just personal opinions.

Would you take this job?

What do you think of random drug testing? Is it fair?

Just think of all those people who do so well in all those activities!

Imagine that the best football player (does only good in football, no other subjects in school) does drugs, and then one day the principal wants to drug test, and finds out that he uses drugs? Football is the only thing he has!
