Question: Can a teacher make me take a drug test?
Answer: The one court case addressing this issue found that a school is not allowed to require all students to submit to urine tests for drugs and alcohol. There have been other court cases where schools required drug tests of those who participated in interscholastic programs (football, softball, etc.). In those cases, one court found that the drug testing was justified for those participating in the sports program and three other courts found that it was not justified. Because most courts have found that drug testing in schools was not warranted, it is likely that the testing would not be allowed by most courts, not prohibited.

Its not ok cause they aint got no good reason for u to take it.When I was in eighth grade our principle made us take a drug test because we were Latinos or Hispanics.Most of us Latinos got in trouble W/out drugs though.
