From the supplier: The US Supreme Court reversed a 9th Circuit Court decision and ruled in favor of the drug testing program of the school district of Veronia, a logging community in Oregon. The school district was sued in fall 1991 by student John Acton and his parents after it banned John from participating in athletics because he refused a mandatory drug test. The Supreme Court threw out the argument that the school district violated Fourth Amendment rights and Oregon's constitution, saying that schools exercise custodial and tutelary powers over students. Moreover, drug testing was needed because of the high incidence of substance abuse in the school.
