Do students really give up their constitutional rights while in school?
THe U.S. Supreme Court has already answered this question. ‘a student does not give up their constitutional rights at the door’…. now, would you like to tell us what ‘policy’ you are talking about? EDITED BASED ON FURTHER RESPONSE: First, I do not click on external links. If you think the issue is important enough then it is your duty to excise the salient points and present them here. Also, as far as the main issue, this is not one of constitutional rights but of contracts. IF the student signed a statement regarding the issue as quoted, then he effectively waived his rights. However, NO ONE can say yes or no without reading the exact language of the agreement that was signed.
They didnt ask him to give up his constitutional rights. They asked him to sign a paper to follow the rules set forth by the class. He did not have to take this class, he wanted to. Ergo, he needs to follow the rules. His drawing of a religious symbol and phrase were in blatent violation of what he signed. Im not anti religion, actually pro religion. But he committed to not doing something, and then went ahead and did it. It has nothing to do with constitiutional rights. Its his defense that is trying to bring in CR’s. They are trying to state that other students made “demonic” artwork. However, those may not be religious to them. Nor have I seen anywhere as a Christian, anything describing what is “demonic” so I see no case here.
