Supreme Court to rule on student athlete drug testing
The justices agreed to decide if public schools may require drug testing for athletes as a tool against student drug use or if such testing violates the Fourth Amendment. Oregon's Vernonia district argues testing is essential to curb drug use among youths, while the appeals court found no justification for random tests of nondirected students. The case stems from James Acton, a seventh grader barred from football after refusing a urinalysis in 1991. The court also weighed other actions on California Joe Camel and police knock and announce requirements.
