Can schools search students' backpacks?

Yes

Side Score: 15
VS.

No

Side Score: 12

Most schools have a sign on the door that says when a individual enters these doors they are agreeing to those searches which are conducted for the safety of all students and faculty. It's school. What kind of moron would try to bring something illegal knowing that the searches are a possibility.

Side: Yes

There shouldn't really be anything personal in a student's backpack any way, just a pencil case and some books etc.

Yes please!

My local high school just found a cache of unidentified liquids, ammunition and other unidentified possible tools of destruction.

I want schools to look through backpacks!

Side: Yes

Well there's no law of nature that can stop them, is there?

Side: Yes

Can schools search students' backpacks?

There are rules that say that they can. This isn't even arguable.

Hi. If you like Japanese culture and want to find a place to buy clothes in this style, then you can discover meadow range of porter yosihda clothing. I myself am a fan of Japanese culture and ordered things on this site and they turned out to be very good quality. So if you want to buy clothes and accsesuars, then go to the meadow website

No.

I believe that if there is an actual threat the school can call the police and let them handle it.

But the school itself, as an institution, should not have the right to search a student's backpack. For no reason should the school have the right to search anyone - it would be the same as you going into someone's house and them searching your bag. Would that be ok? No, well this isn't ok either.

It's an invasion of privacy.

Students attending school don't have very much privacy to be invaded, anyway...

When you walk onto the property you are consenting to those searches. see for youself, oftentimes they post a notice on the doors going into more detail.

Yeeeah....I don't know what you are referring to.

Is it? I believe it's more along the lines of protection. Also, usually, a code of conduct booklet is given out to students that tells you that searching is a power that can be exercised by the school if they have a reasonable belief that a student may have something dangerous or illegal.

I'm watching the every move of a person that I don't know, because I suspect that someone is going to harm them and I want to be there to stop it. Is that still an invasion of privacy? Yeesssssssss.

No. A school is an inanimate object.
