Real Life Teens - Bill of Rights at School VHS

Real Life Teens: Bill of Rights at School covers the complex issues surrounding a teen’s rights at school, and discusses how their rights on campus are different than that in public. It describes how and why a school is legally allowed to place restrictions on speech, clothes and behavior, while enforcing the student’s basic civil rights. Bill of Rights at School also explains a student’s rights to privacy and why a school can search a student’s locker, backpack or car on campus with only reasonable suspicion.
