Student athletes, musicians and others who participate in after school activities could increasingly be subject to random drug testing under a program promoted by the Bush administration.

Somehow, I don't think that the students who participate in after school activities are the ones using drugs.

EXACTLY!! Study after study shows that children involved with afterschool programs are much less likly to use drugs.
At our school any student caught using alcohol,drugs or even tobacco, in or out of school is removed from the team.

Maybe if they turned things around drug tested the kids that don't participate in in these extracurricular activities they'd encourage more of them to get more involved in school activities and stay out of trouble. It seems like drug testing just the kids participating in these activities will discourage at risk kids from doing these things that might help them stay out of trouble and get a better, more well rounded education.
