As we reported earlier, the U.S. States Department and Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) organized a regional conversation in Budapest last December, where government officials attempted to satisfy their European colleagues to take into consideration the appropriation of ?best practices? from America, especially school drug testing, presented as a success story at the event. Since than, ONDCP have made further efforts to advertise random testing of students at other international gatherings, for example at the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) in March. Calvina Fay, the executive director of the Partnership as being a Drug Free America made an emotional appeal to the Beyond 2008 global NGO forum this May, claiming that school drug testing is an evidence-based demand reduction tool. Unfortunately we cannot show you this harangue because we were banned from showing films from the plenary (see our earlier blog and video on this issue), but we interviewed a couple of people from one place to another this controversial issue. Unfortunately only one supporter of school drug testing was resolution to make notes, other like-minded NGO delegates refused to bestow an interview. Opponents of put drugs into testing offer reasons in our video that to randomly drug test students and prohibit them from extracurricular activities is not an effective and ethical way to protect young people from abusing drugs. They refer to a study conducted by dint of. researchers of the University of Michigan among 76.000 students. This study shows that drug use was not significantly lower in those schools where drug testing was applied, what is more, drug testing had some unintended consequences as well.
