Students' 4th Amendment Rights in Public Schools

<p>This collection explores students' 4th Amendment rights in public schools by examining four landmark Supreme Court cases on the issue: <em>New Jersey v. T.L.O.</em> (1985), <em>Safford Unified School District v. Redding</em> (2009), <em>Vernonia School District v. Acton</em> (1995), and <em>Board of Education v. Earls</em> (2002). It asks students to think about the following overarching question: Has the Supreme Court maintained the right balance between school safety and students' privacy rights? The collection also includes differing perspectives on the issue as well as current events. </p>
