Supreme Court Of The US Condones Illegal Searches of Students
[From article]
These searches were conducted without any individually cited suspicions of wrongdoing by any of the students, not to mention total disregard of due process.
[. . .]
The appeals court ruled the school's interest in drug use outweighed Diane's privacy rights. The Supreme Court then refused any further review of the case.
In his dissent of the Supreme Court's decision, Justice Brennan roared: "Schools cannot expect their students to learn the lessons of good citizenship when the school authorities themselves disregard the fundamental principles underpinning our constitutional freedoms."
