Drug Testing: It's Unnecessary

There is no need for drug testing. Many schools have used drug testing and and many haven't but in either case the schools that did and didn't test had the same results. Many students feel that drug testing is against their rights and that it violates the 4th amendment which is search and seizure. The Supreme Court always finds that drug testing is a reasonable search only because that it is on students and they feel that the constitution should be more lenient with kids. Drug testing also costs tons of money, especially if your in a big school district. Some school districts in La., Ca. spend over millions of dollars for drug testing and where does that money come from? The tax payers. Drug Testing also doesn't test for alcohol the #1 most abused drug in America and maybe even in the world. Students feel like the school is against them. By drug testing students it makes less kids do extracurricular activities cause that's the only time drug testing is used. Some feel that only they get tested because of their religion, race or talent. This is why there shouldn't be student drug testing cause it also makes kids want to drop out of school more if they feel like they are always being watched.
