The consenes of veronia school distric?

Answer 1

The Veronia School District decided that athletes were the school leaders. The students would follow their lead. The students would follow the athletes' example on drug usage. So, the school district decided to randomly test athletes for drugs. By getting athletes to stop using drugs, they could get the rest of the student body to stop using them. Since it was in Oregon, some liberal parents objected in Federal Court. The Federal Court sided with the school district. The ACLU appealed to the 9th Federal District Court in California. Anyone familiar with that court, would have predicted that a reversal would be automatic in a drug case. Sure enough it was. Next an the School District appealed to The United States Supreme Court. Of course, anyone familiar with the law knows what will happen when anyone appeals a 9th District Court of Appeals case to the US Supreme Court and the Supreme Court accepts it. Sure enough. The Supreme Court decided that the greater interest in keeping drugs out of the school overrode the 4th amendment right to privacy. Children at school were not adults at home. The need to protect children was greater than the need to give them privacy.
