I feel student rights are important because kids have rights like adults as well as at home we also have rights at school. Most rights are included in the bill of rights but sometimes there are exceptions, like if a teacher thinks you have cheated on a test and they have good reason they have the right to search your bag, pockets, and desk to search for anything that could help you cheat. If they didn’t find the object that helped you cheat but they found something else like a packet of vapes or cigarettes you will get punished.

Although students have rights public schools can restrict certain activity and behaviors.the main restrictions included the first amendment and the fourth amendment.

First Amendment : The first amendment restricts the government from stopping you from expressing your feelings through speech and writing, It also prohibits the government from encouraging any particular religion.

Fourth Amendment :   he fourth amendment says that you can’t be searched and have your property being taken away for no good reason.

Students aren’t fully covered by these laws, because most are under eighteen years of age. Schools act in loco parentis. Loco parentis in English means in place of parents, so in other words, it means schools are in charge of the child’s well being. In my opinion this means that not only do you have rights but sometimes there are exceptions. In the bill of rights is so describes there are exceptions to certain laws, for example if you were screaming in class and your teacher made you be quiet and you had to listen they are taking away your right to freedom of speech, but in the bill of rights there is also a law to good education and if you are screaming you are taking away their right to education.

 60’s                                                                                                                                            During this time period some students in Iowa wore black armbands to protest the Vietnam war and got suspended. The school had violated there rights and the parents sued and brought the case to the supreme court. The court ruled that political expression was protected by the first amendment.

As one of the justices said “students do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate”

In a different case court stated that public schools can’t make you say anything you don’t want to even the pledge of allegiance. Also that public schools can’t force any religious beliefs on you.

If you have something you are not supposed to in your locker that’s to bad because they can search it the lockers are school property.

Overall I think all these laws make since all of them have good reason to them. All rights are important no mater how young or old people are even kids and students have rights.
