Drug testing
In 1998, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit supported a school policy that required students in all extracurricular activities to participate in random drug tests. These activities include sports teams, dances, academic teams, clubs, and any other school supported activities. That was the first time a federal appeals court upheld such a policy for students other than athletes. The ruling was challenged by the ACLU, but the United States Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal.
