The government has a reason to search him. The reason is because he's entering a public school. He doesn't have to submit to the search. He is abslutely free to stay home and study there.

Oh puhleeze - thats weak beyond measure.

That logic would mean i could be searched on the street at will as I'm absolutely free to stay at home.

You can be searched anytime on a public street, if there is a reason. Entering a public school is a reason. Entering a stadium at a college football game is a reason. Entering the white house or capital building. Suspicion that you're driving drunk. Suspicion that your transporting biological weapons. The government is obligated to protect the citizens. But no one is subect to these searches. Only those who want to enter or use goverment owned facilities.
