T L O First Amendment Rights
1,006 words
To me, the basis of the Fastback 317 is to
emphasize the First and Fourth Amendments of the
Unites States Constitution and how they apply to
students in the educational environment. The cases
referred to in the book are informative because
they illustrate the boundaries for teachers and
student boundaries both as an individual and as a
citizen of the United States. In my opinion the
case that holds the most significance for a
teacher was the case of New Jersey v T. L. O. This
dealt with the proc...

sculpt for himself, under the commercial sculptor
