4th Amendment Rights in Public Schools
I don’t think the school should have to follow all of the 4th amendment. If the administration has reason to believe a student has drugs or weapons on their person they should be able to do a search of their bag because they could be putting other children at risk. Think of all the school shootings and tragedies that have happened involving weapons. There have been a lot but I’m sure if searches hadn’t taken place than a lot more would have happened. The school owns the lockers so they should have the right to search those and it wouldn’t be of any harm to the kids so if they have nothing to hide they shouldn’t mind the search and if they’re hiding something then it’s good that the administration found it so it can keep the kids that are in their care safe. Schools definitely shouldn’t be able to strip search children because it could emotionally scar them or embarrass them greatly and it’s just a lawsuit waiting to happen. Schools should have the right to search student’s bags if they believe they have contraband but not search underneath their clothing.
Schools should have the right to search the student’s bag on school grounds with probable cause because it could save lives or prevent some kids from doing drugs. So many school shootings have happened but think of how many more incidents would have happened if the school didn’t find out about a kid with a weapon. I hear on the news all the time that kids brought weapons to school but got caught before anything bad happened. Just today I saw that a student in Peterborough, N.H. brought a loaded handgun to ConVal High school and the administration got notified by an anonymous tip and the gun was seized before anyone was hurt. The student faces possible expulsion. If they couldn’t search him without a warrant than he most likely would have shot one or more of the students/teachers. When you enter school teachers and administrators basically become your parents and are
