A05). In a White House statement following the ruling, President Clinton supported the court's decision saying it "sends exactly the right message to parents and students: Drug use will not be tolerated in our schools" (Phelps, 1995, p. A05). .
Even though the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of student athlete drug testing, in 1995, many state courts have since ruled otherwise. In August of 1997, New Jersey courts issued a restraining order to prevent the implementing of drug testing policies for student athletes by the Ridgefield Park Board of Education. (American Civil Liberties Union [ACLU] ,1997). The ACLU of New Jersey filed a suit on behalf of a student, claiming that "the drug testing program violates the state constitutional prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures" (ACLU, 1997). In the preliminary hearing, Judge Moses concluded that " the ACLU was likely to succeed on its claim that random drug testing of student athletes would violate their right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures" (ACLU, 1997). In September of 1998, The ACLU of New Jersey announced that the Ridgefield Park Board of Education agreed to abolish its random drug testing policy (ACLU, 1998). .
"Random drug testing of student athletes can seldom, if ever, be justified under the New Jersey Constitution," ACLU Staff Attorney Rocah argued (ACLU, 1998). In addition to New Jersey, other states have ruled similarly claiming that like New Jersey their state constitution has been "historically interpreted as providing greater protections of individual rights, particularly in the area of searches and seizures" (ACLU, 1997).
Rita Sklar, Executive Director of the ACLU of Arkansas asserts that the "Fourth Amendment ensures that all Americans will not be treated like criminals just to catch the few criminals among them. The same should go for young Americans" (ACLU, 1997). School officials should not violate a student's privacy without reasonable suspicion that they have done something wrong.
