No problem then, good for you in exercising your parental discretion.

Just don't demand the right for your kid to participate in the school's extracurriculars. Ya'll can always form an outside independent football team. Renew the "Jocks versus Jellies" tradition!

Well, if I did I realize I'd have zero legal standing. But I doubt that would stop me. I'd at least vent to the principal or coach or whoever's idea the testing was. I'd hope (I'm dreaming of fantasyland here) that the coach would agree with me that there's no evidence or suggestion that the kid's on drugs, so let's just forget about the test in this case. We'll just "randomly select" someone else who doesn't mind peeing in a cup and everyone will be happy.

But what I'd *really* like would be a refund of the tax money I pay that goes to the extracurricular activites. Since I'm not participating, why should I pay? Now I'm really dreaming.

I must admit I've never heard of this tradition, but I'd be all for reviving it.
