Ingraham v. Wright 430 U.S. 651 (1977). Ingraham v. Wright is a landmark case with a significant impact on the jurisprudence of this court, specifically regarding individual rights of students in public school districts. This case explicitly examines individual rights under the lens of procedural due process, substantive due process, and the Eighth Amendment. I intend to argue that corporal punishment in schools is not a violation of an individual’s constitutional rights. The case represents two counts of corporal punishment inflicted within the Dade County School System. On October 1st, 1970, defending Assistant Principal of Charles R. Drew Junior High School, Solomon Barnes, applied corporal punishment against 15 boys in a restroom; including petitioner Roosevelt Andrews.

Whigham. They also filed a class action on behalf of all students within the school system for declaratory and injunctive relief. The petitioners claimed that their constitutional rights had been deprived, given the drastic measures of corporal punishment of which they were victims. In trial court, the case was dismissed - evidence provided for the first two cases was not sufficient, and the third case showed no right to relief. The U.S. Court of Appeals reversed, stating that corporal punishment as applied was a violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, as well as the school system’s failure to satisfy due process. The en banc court rejected the appeal, affirming the judgment of the trial court. The en banc court stated that corporal punishment was not forbidden by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, and that due process did not require students to receive notice or be given an opportunity to be

The plaintiffs in the case, Brandon’s parents, were suing based on the school failing to handle harassment at the school. More claims of wrongful death because of negligence and discrimination against Brandon’s disabilities were a part of the case, as well as suing parents for harassment and emotional distress. The Myers had claimed that the staff members were fostering a system where bullying was being able to thrive in the school and have no consequence, which still seemed to be the case when the life threatening notes were given to the school and no direct action was being taken for the victim. This also includes how the district officials, along with the employees, had kept the evidence and destroyed it to essentially keep the school protected. In March of 2010, the plaintiff’s Rehabilitation Act claim was dismissed in favor of the defendants, but kept all other respects in the case.

That said, however, the cases viewing school strip searches differently from the way we see them are numerous enough, with well-reasoned majority and dissenting opinions, to counsel doubt that we were sufficiently clear in the prior statement of law. We conclude that qualified immunity is warranted. The strip search of Savana Redding was unreasonable and a violation of the Fourth Amendment, but petitioners Wilson, Romero, and Schwallier are nevertheless protected from liability through qualified immunity. The conclusions here do not resolve, however, the question of the liability of petitioner Safford Unified School District #1 a claim the Ninth Circuit did not address. The judgment of the Ninth Circuit is therefore affirmed in part and reversed in part, and this case is remanded for consideration of the Monell claim.
