...Just don't demand the right for your kid to participate in the school's extracurriculars...

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.

Renew the "Jocks versus Jellies" tradition! ...

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

Hmmm, maybe it was just a Texas thing. In the 70's and early 80's, at the end of the school year there was always the rumor that the athletes (Jocks) were going to meet up with the dopeheads/slackers (Jells/Jellies/Jellybrains) for a huge fight when school let out. Not sure if it ever actually materialized into anything other than a prance and staredown, but the Jocks versus Jells was always a prominent end of year topic of high school cafeteria conversation.
