SynopsisThe Vernonia School District in Vernonia, Oregon, had a policy that allowed students to participate in school sports only if a consent form allowing drug testing was signed by the student and the student's parents or guardians. James Acton and his parents refused to sign that form, claiming that James's constitutional rights were being violated, and James was not allowed to play football. In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court sided with the Vernonia School District and its drug testing program.
