  1. Students’ privacy rights in school

  2. PROMPT Student privacy issues are becoming a prevalent issue in modern day schools, ever since the court decision of New Jersey v. TLO, where Justice Bryon White wrote that students in public schools have a constitutional right to privacy, and can only be searched under probable cause. There are increasing arguments against school officials searching students’ possessions or lockers, either on a random basis or reasonable suspicion. Those in support follow “in loco parentis,” which means to assume responsibility of the students, acting in place of the parents. However, others claim that such searches are a violation of students’ privacy, taking away their rights allowed by the Fourth Amendment, which states that people have a right to be secure and not searched without a warrant based on probable cause. Carefully read the introductory paragraph, including the following four sources. Then synthesize information from the sources and incorporate it into a coherent, well-developed essay that defends, challenges, or qualifies the claim that students are losing privacy rights in school. Make sure that your argument is central; use the sources to illustrate and support your reasoning. Avoid merely summarizing the sources. Indicate clearly which sources you are drawing from, whether through direct quotation, paraphrase, or summary. You may cite the sources as Source A, Source B, etc., or by using the descriptions in the parentheses. Source A (ACLU) Source B (Examiner) Source C (Cartoon) Source D (Video)
