If school safetly is a concern, even on the smallest level, it takes power over the privacy of a
student. Students don't have any privacy, so long as that privacy has the potential to harm school
safety. And on the searching note, the lockers, desks, and any other storage place in schools, are
the property of the school, you are only borrowing it, thus they have every right to search it
without consent or warning. If you have nothing dangerous to hide, there should not be any problem
with this, and if you do, your "privacy" is a danger to the school and thus loses it's privacy. The
safety of the majority supercedes that of the individual. |

I think that goes for safety in general.. |

Safety and privacy were related for a reason, They never were before , until students have abused
their own privacy. By acts that promote a none safe environment. That's the only reason adults
needed to limit privacy. If people respected limits, rules, and acted right, no ones privacy would
be in threat |

I suppose, if they refuse it means they could have something to hide |

Privacy is not for public places. School is a public place and is expected to be safe. |

With kids nowadays, safety is much more important then privacy. Look what you end up with when you
give students privacy -Columbine.I think there should be the utmost security in schools and the
students nor parents should have any say in it. As a parent, you have a right to protect your child,
you never know, it could just maybe be your child causing the problem. Until they start strip
searching kids, it is fine. |

Students aren't in as much danger as the media makes them think. You are way more likely to die on
the way to school than at school. |

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, even in the name of preventing crime you can't start
treating people like prisoners, because they haven't actually done anything yet. |

A girl in my school was forced to give up her purse randomly because she has held drugs before. My
principle is a moron and he dosen't have a right to go through her purse off of a random suspicion.
And he suspended her because she wouldn't surrender it. He even fallowed her into the girls
bathroom. |

I deeply value my privacy, and I believe that students have a right to a majority, if not all, of
the privacy that adults have. There is an unnecessary obsession with "safety" lately, which is
understandable due to Virginia Tech and other such scares. However, middle and high schoolers rarely
ever have a part in shootings such as this: It is almost always an adult invading campus, because
there is only so much a 12-year-old can do. When it comes to petty things, such as vandalism and
minor theft, the few students who have had any thought of doing such a thing would only be provoked
by an uncalled-for search or questioning. For many students, being sent to the office for a crime
they didn't commit would be motive enough to commit a crime in the future. Bystanders, too, would be
less likely to speak up, whether out of spite for the school, or fear that they would be branded as
involved in whatever was committed.
That being said, I am not against all search and questioning, but it needs to be within limits and
reason. |

Is there a reason why you can't have both? |

According to the schools, yes.
I however think we should stop with all the safety frenzy. |
