Ah, the stupidity of youth.
The parent of this child should tell him to shut up about the metal detector. Remind the child he is there to study and learn. Not to bring about legal action.
good for this kid....
Betcha the kid's parents are leftist lawyers.
What the school needs to do is find the two or three disgruntaled kids planning on staging a school shooting and set a date for them to do it. They then tell all the kids except for this one moron not to come to school. On that day, the kids with guns come into the school to only to find Mr. 4th Amendment the only one in class. Let's see how he likes his 4th amendment then.
Does he have a "prince albert" or something?
The reason metal detectors are required is that the purpose of public schools is not to educate young people, but to provide secure, well-paying jobs for members of teachers' unions.
Metal detectors are not necessary in private/religious schools, because dangerous students who have no interest in learning are not present in them.
Unionized schools want the highest head count possible because the get $$$$$ for each student, to the tune of $10,000 average per year.
Public education is socialism, and the end result of socialism is always high-cost, low quality and danger, just like the socialized medical system is becoming.
When half the inner-city students graduating from high school can't even read, it becomes obvious that "free" education is valued by its recipient at exactly its cost to them.
This kid is right. He has been failed by a public education system that cannot even keep him safe from dangerous low-lifes without treating HIM like a criminal.
Abolish public education. It's for the children.

We have a metal detector at the Courthouse where I live. There are 3 police officers who sit at this detecter and twiddle their thumbs the better part of the day.
Now lets say a person who wanted to commit an illegal act and shoot someone in the courthouse came in one day. he is carrying a pistol concealed in his pocket. He waits in the line at the detecter and when his turn comes up he pulls out this pistol and before any of these 3 can get out their weapons shoots all 3. It wouldnt be any trouble at all. There is no way they could respond fast enough to stop him. The person inside he was after would be warned of course and probably would get away, but the men at the detecter are merely cannon fodder.
Think of this as a school where an unarmed teacher is sitting at the unit. What has the detecter done but get this teacher shot? The detecter would barely slow down the killer.
But being forced to go to school is OK.
At least he didn't manage to get a squirt gun into the school... He'd be in lockdown for the rest of his natural life.
Hey, is there something going on at the nations border?
He will lose. This has passed court muster as well as dog searches and piss tests. Whine on you little loser punk puke.
A student's refusal to walk through a safety detector earns him a trip home.
This is SOOOOOOoooooo old legally. It has already been decided as legal.
It is not unreasonable to consider the safety of each person inside the school, especially when the school is liable.
Next issue.
