Many people assume that it is a superb thing to do, and there are abundant people that think it is misguided to do. Many people think it is an dreadful conclusion, because, it is invading our only private place at school, and it is just a atrocious thing to do in general. Additionally this is why I consider this as a horrific concept, is because it is invading our only private area in school. Our lockers are the only spot we get to store our school supplies in, and some people have to stock girl products that they don’t want other peers surrounding to see.

    The Supreme Court's decision in New Verses versus T.L.O was that the search was legal and that it didn't violate the 4th amendment. The Court also held that school officials need "responsible suspicion" instead of a higher level of "probable cause" and that such a warrant wasn't needed.

T. L. O. Podcast)." In keeping the safety of the school's environment, the Supreme Court tries to balance students' constitutional rights with the rules schooling system has. Currently, the "balance" is leaning more towards the safety and drug policies schools have and against additional constitutional rights students have in the world outside of school. With drugs and gang symbols in public schools across America, searches and seizures of their student property have increased.…
