Student Drug Testing

I do not believe students should be drug tested to participate in particular activity. What a person does in their spare time is their business. If students want to participate better in an activity they will not do drugs because they know that it will make them perform worse at their sport. I would say if schools wanted to decrease the amount of drugs used among athletes and other clubs they could have a mandatory drug safety class. This would allow for people to become aware of the dangers involved with using drugs, and also the effects drugs would have on their performance in a sport. Having classes instead of doing the drug tests is good because the informational classes will not be an invasion of privacy. Looking around on the Internet I found a website, below, which helps talk about the various drugs plus their effects once taken and long term.

Another video I found about drug testing was a school, Linn State Technical College in Missouri, which mandated all of there incoming students to participate in a drug test after the first five to ten days of first semester. This mandatory drug test is invasive though because there is no evidence these students were using drugs. The video is below.
