Peter Crumans 4th amendments were not violated when he was compelled to show his Facebook page. School officials were trying to protect the wellbeing of their students, therefore trying to get to the bottom of what this tip was about and needed to search the suspected student who after a little persistence began to cooperate. Principal Lyons received an anonymous tip that Peter Curman had posted that he would be conducting a few sales of illegal drugs on school property giving him reasonable suspicion to search the student. In the case of New Jersey vs. T.L.O school officials were able to search a student due to reasonable suspicion for violations on school property, therefore giving principal Lyons justification because he not only received
Khang An Nguyen Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier (1988) Essay Stuyvesant’s very own biweekly newspaper, the Spectator, has been publishing a variety of articles since 1915. But is the content of the Spectator protected under the First Amendment? What if a student publishes an article that violates the privacy of certain students? While the First Amendment grants us freedom of speech and of the press, it is different for students in school.
The test that the Supreme Court uses to determine if individual rights and the common good is balanced in the case of " Acton v. Vernonia School District" is whether the government outweighs the privacy of the the person or vice versa. The time is during school so between the hours of seven am to eight pm if you count different extracurricular activities. The place is on any government ground which at all times, school is government property. If there is any threat on government property that involves a student 's learning and could be potentially hindering it, the government interest starts to become more heavy than privacy. An unreasonable search and seizure would be for example if a school facility member overheard some students talking about a person, let 's say this person 's name is Susan.
Kuhlmeier 1987 Constitutional Question: Does a school have the right to censor a students newspaper article or is this a violation of the students First Amendment rights of free press?

Censorship in America can vary between the silencing of young voices and the prevention of exposing others of inappropriate material. Many people are afraid of losing their freedom of speech, as first amendment rights should be mandatory for American citizens. Polar to this argument insists the importance of censorship, as it can shield the public from information that can lead to fear or chaos. Leaving students ignorant to world problems, however, is argued by Sonja West that it removes their first amendment rights and creates a future working-class of Americans who are clouded from the truth. West is a law professor at the University of Georgia who is distinguished for her expertise in the first amendment law and minor in journalism.
Shah 1 Farhan Shah Ms. Benedetto CP English IV 14 April 2024 Editorial Fahrenheit 451 serves as a reminder of the dangers posed by government surveillance and censorship. Fahrenheit 451 depicts a society where government control over information stifles dissent and curtails individual freedoms. This shows the erosion of civil liberties in the face of expanding surveillance measures. Similarly, the Patriot Act and government data collection underscore the risks posed by unchecked surveillance to privacy and freedom of expression. The Patriot Act marked a significant expansion of government surveillance powers in the name of national security.

Ted Bundy Theodore Robert Cowell, also know as Ted Bundy, was a vicious criminal from Burlington, Vermont. He was shy yet bright and smart. It has been reported that he murdered and assaulted more than 30 women. It also has been said that Ted suffered both physical and psychological abuse during his childhood years, which caused him to have difficulties in forming relationships and trusting other people.

However, the government does not have the responsibility to police what other citizens should or should not listen to as “the right to hear the speech of others is protected by the First Amendment.” (Samples), deeming that act of censorship as unconstitutional. The responsibility to filter through one's media for offensive content falls on the user and not a federal authority which does not know what every citizen deems controversial or not. Therefore, “speech by and for social media users may be presumed to be free of government regulation” (Samples) and would only be counterintuitive for the government to perform as what is offensive is a relative subject. Clearly, media censorship for the purpose of protecting citizens is not a government responsibility as the government being the reviser of media can lead to the mass diffusion of misinformation, as well as lead to the systematic oppression of undesirable citizens.
This completely takes away a person’s right to privacy. The government has access search anyone’s internet or library records. Taking away someone’s right to read what they please also takes away the freedom of writing about controversial topics since anyone who reads it is intimidated by the government (Jacobs and
March 17, 1838 Dear Diary, Today while sitting in the crispy cold weather, with the clothes that now resembled rags, I sat pondering my life. My face now covered in the unpleasant texture of dirt and smut from the factory; now appeared to have become a part of m. My hands disarrayed and my cracked hands bandaged lay tight in my lap and now mirrored my life. I haven’t any parents to speak of so I found myself this alley where I write to you. Not far from work I await the loud bell to alarm me of my next shift down at the factory.
In the law everyone is protected to have a “reasonable expectation of privacy” which makes it so high authority can’t search the person when or wherever they wish too. Over the years the fourth amendment has been looked at but not overly looked into. The fourth amendment in school has been tried many times over the years. School privacy has many different ways they go about it, but the most common for courts to decides it whether it was a reasonable search and seizure or an unreasonable search and seizure. “To make successful claims for protection under the Fourth Amendment for nonphysical invasion, individual must have genuine beliefs not only that they have expectations of privacy but also that these expectations are reasonable in the
In the United States, the 4th amendment bill prohibits unreasonable seizures and searches from the citizens. In this case, a person can only be searched after the searching police issue him or her with a search warrant (Wetterer 2). The application of the 4th amendment when it comes to school bullying has been an issue. Under the New Jersey v. T.L.O, for example, the school heads are not supposed to strictly adhere to this rule. In this case, the teachers are not supposed to acquire a warrant so that they can search their students.
