Work cited Planas, Antonio “High school drug testing promoted” Las Vegas Review Journal

Summary
Public Schools nation wide that have not already implemented student drug testing are being persuaded by the white house deputy of drugs to consider requesting federal grants to begin testing. While some think that it would be a good idea, other school faculty believes that it’s Invasive, unnecessary, and would prevent students from participating in extracurricular activities.

Paraphrase
Public schools were recently asked to consider federal grants to instate drug testing in extra curricular activities. The white houses deputy drug czar believes that these random drug tests will help prevent or stop drug use while it is still a minor problem. Last semester school principles from across the nation recommended expulsion for 449 students for ether possessing, distributing or having the intent to distribute drugs on campus property (Antonio Planas LVRJ). The drug testing results would remain private and would only be disclosed to parents and a professional that can help with the problem before it turns into a addiction. Planas goes on to describe how giving every student a drug test could be invasive, but it could be helpful in monitering students that have had problems in the past.


I think that this is the topic that I am going to stick with.
