Spartan Time Journal Writing Prompt (Wednesday)
In order to crack down on drug use and distribution in schools, many high schools have begun to conduct targeted searches of student lockers, backpacks and other personal properties. Keeping in mind that the Supreme Court has ruled these types of searches as constitutional, do you feel that these searches are a violation of student rights? Or do you think that since the school is ultimately responsible for the well-being of its students, they should have the right to conduct these searches in the effort of keeping the student body safe?
