steroid testing in HS

I see. I don't agree with the practice, but I see.

 

Steroid testing costs $100+ per head, per test.

A lot of parents don't have $100 more just lying around they can throw away on a steroids test.

If I'm a parent, and they come at me with this bullshit, I tell them:

"YOU pay for the test. If my kid tests positive, I'll reimburse you for it. Otherwise, go piss in your hat."

 

The different versions of the Texas bill had different ways of funding testing. The Senate version called for the state to put up the money. The Legislature's version called for a 50 cent surcharge on tickets for all high school sporting events. I never did here which method wound up in what was sent to the Governor.

Also, I believe the proposed program, which would be administered by the University Interscholastic League, was to test roughly one percent of all high school athletes.

What activity fee? The only sport I've ever heard of that costs anything just to play is hockey, because of ice time.

Depends on where you are, I guess.

Here in the Northeast, it's a very common way to balance school budgets.

 

And they tell you that playing sports is a privilege, not a right, and you have to pay for the privilege.

The court's gonna be behind them.

 

If it's mandatory testing for all athletes, then how is it unconstitutional?

 

if it's mandatory searches of all houses, then how is it unconstitutional?

 

Please see Earls v. Oklahoma.
The current Supreme Court, which wouldn't know a civil liberty from a houseplant, says they can test.

 

i know a court says it's legal; i say it is not if some fuck wants to perform one on my child.

TP --
I'm with you, in spirit. Unfortunately, THE court says they can so you've got no recourse except to keep your kid out of sports and (perhaps) out of school as well, if what I think is coming down the pike happens.

 

my place of work buys ink by the barrel and truckloads of paper. we also have one of those thingymajigs that applies the ink to the paper. i also decide what goes into my section.

i don't have to sit quietly back and take it, and i doubt if i do.
