Public education is all about politics and football. Inject a little drug prohibition into the mix and you get random steroid testing of teenagers. Parents of jocks will cry "foul!". Blacks, who must compose a disproportionate share of varsity athletes, will rightly scream "discrimination!" The Board of Ed will respond in politically correct fashion, and impose random drug testing on ALL students. Can't afford to lose that grant money. Besides, it doesn't cost anything more. The tests already detect other "illegal" substances. I've heard that public schools place too much emphasis on testing, but this is ridiculous.
Scholastic football should be a completely privatized, like Pop Warner. If a private league wants to test for steroids, that is fine with me. What's the big deal about a few MLB players testing positive? I'd venture that almost every player in the NFL is a steroid freak.
