I think if a school finds a kid is doing drugs and is on an extracurricular I think it's a good idea to remove him from the team.
Agreed, but you would be surprised as to how many parents would not agree. Nevermind that most student athletes sign something that says no drugs, alcohol, etc., parents will still protect their kids.
My dad used to be an Athletic Director at a high school. A kid who was one of the best basketball players on the team got drunk and wrecked his car so my dad kicked him off the team. His parents got a lawyer said they were discriminating against him because he was an alcoholic at the age of 17. Um.......
Easy to say, the kid never played and the parents tried sueing the school. It didn't go anywhere.
