School Admins Demand Access to Students' Cellphones

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the why-was-i-calling-paraguay dept.

Reverberant writes "School administrators in Framingham MA have implemented a policy allowing them to not only confiscate cell phones, but also to search through students' cell phone data as part of their anti drug/violence efforts. Students claim that the policy is an invasion of their privacy."

    A de facto guardian that has no power, if you count the number of lawsuits people bring against the school for attempting to be the de facto guardian.

    But as it is, is anyone really surprised? This is a page taken straight from the GWB playbook. And if, as kids, they are subjected to this kind of search and seizure when they become adults it won't be a "big deal" because they are protecting us from the terr'ists.

    No one is forced to join athletics. If they do, they understand that they have to follow certain rules.
