It’s a voluntary extra curricular activity.
I have zero problems with it.

I have greater than zero problem with it. Much greater than zero.

My tax dollars are being used to bring this sort of crap about.

It is amazing to me how many people in this country have “zero problems” with the rights of OTHERS being violated by agents of our government. If someone required YOU to take a drug test before engaging in your favorite “voluntary extra curricular activity” you’d probably change your tune.

Yeah, its voluntary, so if you don't like the drug testing then just drop out. You know go do nothing hang out on the street corner. Less likely to get involved in drugs there than in a marching band.

The fact that you have zero problems with a government agency requiring children to pee on demand, disturbs me.

"It’s a voluntary extra curricular activity."

When I went to school, you were required to take electives (band, art, etc) as part of your school curriculum in order to graduate and get into college, just as you were required to take a foreign language and have so many semesters of history and math, etc. If this is still the case, then your statement "voluntary extra curricular activity" is incorrect.

It does not matter if you have a problem with it. We are a nation of laws and the law of the land states that:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Extra-curricular activies is not probable cause. In fact kids who are involved in things are less likely to mess around with drugs. This is stupid on so many levels, the least of which is that it violates the core values that our nation was built on.

It's illegal, immoral, wastefull and ultimately ineffective. At a minimum if you have "no problem with it" then please raise the money yourself and leave my tax money out of it.
