Exactly. Truancy is a severe offense, and saying that going to school in order to not go to jail is the same as waiving your 4th amendment rights is some BS pulled by rich lobbyists who don't understand the tech that kids use so they ban it instead of educating themselves./div>
Agreed. It is about the social norms, trying to get young people to blindly accept unconstitutional search and seizure at random throughout their lives. The indoctrination and censorship of students is just trying to get them to blindly follow authority for their whole lives./div>
Unfortunately, since the locker (however, not the contents) is school property, locker searches are common and generally thought of as perfectly legal. In my school, they have periodically done backpack searches, which get more pushback as the backpacks, as well as the contents, are owned by the students. Contrary to the precedent set by Tinker vs. Perry, saying "students do not shed their constitutional rights when they walk through the schoolhouse gate," we are still subject to mild-medium 1st amendment violations, and severe 4th, 5th, and 14th amendment violations on a very regular basis. We have come far, but we still have a ling way to go/div>
