OTOH, the whole point of public skools is to train heads full of mush that they do not have any rights.
Random warrentless locker searches.
No free speech on tee shirts.
No junk food in their little lunch boxes.
Etc., etc., etc...
The sad thing, I was brought up to believe that the US was a "free country", and that our various national excursions overseas was to make others free again, and help maintain our country as a beacon of freedom. I tolerated horrible infringements on my personal freedom in the military, because of the implied exchange that our society is protected that way.
And look what our society has become - a bunch of sheeple, run by a bunch of petty busybody fascist wankers. /rant
Around here, they've gone one better: no lockers. The kids look like mini-Sherpas lugging all their stuff home each day.
If I had a kid, it would never set foot in a public school.
