shall we dance? fame, fortune and some of the best moves you'll ever see. these "dancing with the stars" pros talk student-teacher hook-ups and tango passion. and 99 problems. jay-z and beyonce were looking for a romantic place to spend their anniversary. so why do some lawmaker want to see them find and even jailed for their choice of love bird time?

thanks for staying with us. there was an interesting bench mark in the so-called war on drugs late last week. for the first time in four decades, pollsters found that a slight majority of americans favor the legalization of

marijuana. while some states are loosening age old drug laws, others are cracking down with mandatory random drug tests for kids as young as 12. tonight we visit two middle schools where policies aimed at keeping adults in the know have opened a sharp debate. we're joined by special correspondent. >> i haven't played since high school. this is so exciting. >> reporter: it takes more than a quick serve or even olympic credentials to make this team. before becoming a lady spartan, each of these 12 and 13-year-olds must first pass a test they all say is a little embarrassing. >> it is disgusting. >> it is kind of weird. they tell you to go to the restroom and you come out with a cup. it is really awkward. there are other people standing there. >> at pleasant middle school, drug testing is mandatory. and not just for sports. for any school activity. principal lane warner said the random tests are keeping this

school in marian, ohio, drug-free. >> what we're testing for are common street drugs. >> what is that feeling when he walk in and calls out your name for the random drug test? >> he doesn't tell you. you get so scared that you're in trouble. >> he doesn't tell you it is a drug test. you're freaking out. what have i done that i could get in trouble for? >> it is violating your rights. that's a big deal. >> reporter: when alexis was told she needed a drug test to join the scrap booking club, her parents said no way. they took the school in milford, pennsylvania, to court. >> that was hard. it was difficult not being able to play with some of the girls i had been playing with for years. >> reporter: alexis and her younger sister megan were forced to sit out all activities. >> even if it meant the girls not being able to play sports. >> even if it meant they had to sacrifice their sports and clubs that they loved so much. giving up your constitutional

rights just because you can doesn't mean you should. >> reporter: it is a decision faced by parents across the country as random drug testing once reserved for olympic, college and high school athletes becomes a fact of life for kids in their early teens, even preteens. today school districts in at least nine states require it from their middle schoolers. >> i would argue as a school administrator who sees these kids day after day, it is helpful for them to have a reason to say no. >> are you still behaving? okay. >> reporter: back at pleasant middle school, he isn't just worried about getting students to class on time. his bigger concern, the stories he's heard about what some kids this age are bringing to school. >> the little things they hide drugs in. they carry around with them that look like a normal highlighter. it was very eye opening. >> reporter: how easy is it for a 13, 14-year-old? >> i would love to say boy, that's something that the kids

around here know they would have to work hard to do. heroin is making a big comeback. it is becoming more popular. it is pretty accessible. >> reporter: but warner says random testing is. he said in six years, there has been just one positive test. >> are you testing the right kids? the student athletes, shouldn't the kids be testing the ones that aren't necessarily in that structured type of environment? >> does that mean that every kid is identified or, our kids are getting away with it? i don't think it mean that. i think in large part it is effective. >> reporter: even hoe the u.s. supreme court ruled random testing is okay, they want to enforce the policy. it means the girls can play again while the issue is settled in pennsylvania's supreme court. >> one of the tallest of the freshmen. look at you. i love that. >> over the years, i had to pea

in many couples. through olympics and world cups. we weren't the ones necessarily cheating. the argument of, maybe it's for the greater good. >> clubs, afterschool activities are normally a way for kids to not be involved in drugs. throwing up the barrier of having to be drug tested for it might prevent those kids from even trying out. >> reporter: back on the volleyball court, a different take from the lady spartans. >> overall you think it is a good thing. >> definitely. >> i think it is helping stop it. >> because they know they won't be eligible for sports. >> reporter: random drug tests, for olympians, professionals and now even america's youngest athletes. for "nightline" in ohio. >> thank you. coming up next, "dancing with the stars."
