I don't believe these tests should be conducted without prior parental consent.

Few are 18.  Those who are are adults and should be treated no differently than you or I would be treated.

Then most parents likely won't consent!  Not necessarily a bad thing.

How is voluntarily giving consent a violation of civil liberty?
They would be expressing their freedom of choice.

Huh? The conversation was about giving consent. Now you say there will be no option for consent. "You're" an odd dude.

I understand what mandatory means, as does everyone else. But the point was made that it should be dependent upon parental consent.

It should be but it won't. As HSF pointed out earlier, failure to consent will lead to expulsion of your child sense the program will be mandatory.

So. Do you support mandatory drug testing of children in school or do you just float around the thread to aggravate?

HSF pointed out his opinion on the matter, only with parental consent but absent that consent the school removes the student to another facility.

I'm not certain what it means.

But I know I have comes across a number of things in life that were allegedly "mandatory" yet had no penalties for non-participants.

Thus HSF stating it as HSF's "opinion"

ETA:  in response to the suggestion by another poster that parental consent would be desirable, something I agree with, the follow on is there would be consequences for withholding consent and my opinion on that is consistent with the intention of the testinng people who opt out are removed from the school. Similar in some states to when you're offered a sobriety driver test and there's the option to decline that comes with the presumption of impaired driving and the consequences thereof to the person's driving privilege etc.
