Your 12 year old kid needs a drug test before they can join the school scrapbook club.

PA- Glenn and Kathy Kiederer's 12-year-old daughter wanted to join the school scrapbooking club. The Shohola couple was surprised at the consent form she brought home two years ago. It acknowledged that to be in the club, she would undergo a urine test for drugs and submit to random drug tests in the future.

"I feel I'm being coerced into signing this paper," Glenn Kiederer said Monday during a hearing in Pike County. "To drug test at this age makes it normal for them. If it's normal, when they have children, what will be normal for them? A chip in your arm that tracks where you go?"

he family believes the drug test is a violation of civil rights. The ACLU of Pennsylvania is suing the district on behalf of the Kiederers.

Parties were in court Monday for a hearing on a preliminary injunction. The ACLU wants the policy to be put on hold until it is tested in court.

The policy requires some students — those who participate in extracurricular activities or who drive to school — to submit to a mandatory initial drug and alcohol test. Those students must then submit to random testing throughout the year.
