Random drug testing for Tennessee high school students

According to a recent article [1] in the KNS,
High school students who participate in voluntary extracurricular activities could be randomly drug tested under legislation advancing in the Senate.
The amendment [2] is sponsored by TN Repub. Sen. Jim Tracy, Shelbyville. The original TN Code 49-6-4213, testing of students for drugs, can be found here [3], then search for the section number 49-6-4213. Is this any way to treat teenagers? I cannot imagine having to take a drug test to participate in sports, band or the chess club. Why is it that so many people think random drug testing is okay?
