Warm Up
A boy who attended middle school decided to try out for
football. He also planned on playing basketball and running track. Before
anyone could participate in football they were given a sheet to take home. A
parent and the student had to sign this sheet. It stated that both the student
and the parent consented to the random drug tests the school gave. The boy and
his parents did not believe in the drug tests and didn't want their son to be
tested. They soon scheduled a meeting
with the principal of the school. The parents told the principal that they
objected to the consent form and weren't going to sign it. The school did not
have any reason to believe that the boy used drugs. The principal told the
family that he could not participate in sports if the sheet was not signed.

school officials require students to agree to drug testing to participate in
school extra-curricular activities? Explain your answer.
