Do our children not have rights?
It seems it’s not only the Bush Administration that wants to suspend the rights of anyone it considers dangerous, but our school systems seem to want to as well. It seems to be general policy that school locker searches don’t require a warrant. In Gwinnett County, Georgia, students who want a parking pass at their high school have to sign a statement allowing warrantless searches of the vehicle. My children will have graduated by the time I could get the Supreme Court to rule on that…
If a student were to phone in a bomb threat to El Camino High School in Oceanside CA, would saying it was just a hoax get him or her out of trouble? I doubt it.
So why do school officials there think it was OK to terrorize the students with phony reports of their classmates deaths?!??! If they think that students didn’t believe their warnings about drunk driving before, why would they possibly believe anything their school officials tell them now?!?!?
I repeat, if students did this, they’d be arrested. People in Boston doing a publicity stunt that the police misinterpreted into a panic attack got arrested. Why haven’t the school officials and police officers involved in this traumatic hoax been arrested?
Do we want an entire generation brought up thinking that their rights don’t matter?
