<p>That only took 3 seconds to beat</p>

<p>Lol Apollo</p>

4

<p>Is that even possible?</p>

5

<p>Is that constitutional?
I know for athletes…but all students?</p>

<p>It’s constitutional. It’s a private school and if the kids or their parents don’t want to have a random drug test, they can transfer to a public or another private school.</p>

<p>CBC in St. Louis also tests as does Rockhurst Jesuit in Kansas City (starting this year). Random at Rockhurst but they will test 100% of student body the 1st week of class. Both schools are private - if you don’t like it go somewhere else is the schools’ attitude.</p>

<p>This is so easy to get out of.</p>

<p>Either claim that you consume alcohol for religious purposes. (Such as in the Catholic Church)</p>

<p>OR</p>

<p>Get the parents to say that the student drank at home under their supervision, which, contrary to popular belief, is legal in almost every state.</p>

<p>Well, since it’s a private school, IDC.
If this was a public school, I’d have an issue with it.</p>

10

<p>they test for and are far more concerned with drugs other than alcohol…</p>

11

<p>what about bald kids</p>

12

<p>Omg what St.Viator is literally 20 minutes away from me. And I go to a northwest suburban high school…</p>

13

<p>They use underarm or other places where hair grows.</p>

14

<p>I feel like that school is going to be seeing a lot of guys rocking the bald look… </p>

<p>But yeah seriously it’s easy to explain away. As someone else mentioned, its legal to drink for religious purposes or with your parents at home. Heck in Wisconsin it’s even legal to drink underage at a bar or restaurant as long as your parent buys the drinks and remains with you at all times! And not to mention, many parents, mine included, have no problem with their teenagers having a glass of wine at a nice dinner or for a special occasion such as a wedding! This school is just going overboard haha</p>
