I did just that to our internet use policy back in high school. My father is a lawyer, so I had him look over the paper before I signed it. He took one look at it and informed me that I would be stupid to sign.
The policy did not have a list of offenses or punishments. It just stated, basically, that "if we don't agree with what you are doing, we can do whatever we want to you."
You can imagine the look of the secretary's face when I returned it unsigned "on advice from my lawyer." I had internet access at home, so I didn't really care.
