Schools should have the power to pat, search, or drug test any student at any random time.

:D i was waiting for a debate. .. . Well first off! I'd like to rebudle pro's arguments. Pro said " Is it an invasion of privacy? "Well. .. According to . http://dictionary.reference.com...The definitions of PRIVACY are: the state of being private; retirement or seclusion. .the state of being free from intrusion or disturbance in one's private life or affairs secrecy. Archaic . a private place. Now if you walked into school one day. .. . And a teacher turned a corner and started patting his hands all over you. .. .Or if he grabbed your backpack and searched through everything. Yes this is a violation of a person's privacy. Pro said " Do they need a permit? "Amendment IV"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. "Well. .. . According the the 4th amendment, yes, they do need a warrant/permit to search through things if it's reasonable. The police are bound by this rule. .. Why shouldn't the schools be too? Pro said "Will it become a racial problem? "If teachers choose to. .. .Then yes, it can become a racial problem. . As well as a classist and sexist problem. Teachers can abuse these powers and inflict embarrassment/pain on students they do not like. Do racist teachers exist? More than probable. The same with sexism and classism. How can they cause embarrassment? Often times, students do not carry illegal stuff, but rather have embarrassing things in their possession. For example, porn or love letters. This negative action can cause many problems with the student. For example. .1. Bullying2. Constant abuse3. Other students could be influenced by the teacher and engage with them in bullying this student. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NOW ONTO MY OWN ARGUMENTS-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------By subjecting students to the constant risk of a search. .. .. You.1) Isolation. Searches remove and destroy their thought that they have a secure point. This only increases the sense of isolation, which can increase psychological problems at that school.2) Single out students. When you single out someone for a search, you are publicly accusing them of crime. This destroys and teacher/student trust bond they have and can actually lead to more dislike. 3) Invasion of Privacy. Like I stated before, the Fourth Amendment says that you must have a probable cause and a warrant to search someone. By allowing schools to do this without the need to go and try to gain a warrant, you give schools too much power. Even the police have these limits put on them -- they cannot simply go charging in a house on a whim, because they think their might be criminal activity. 4) Embarrassment. I've already covered this matter above. .. But still, we cannot ignore the fact that biased teachers can abuse this to their benefit and destroy students that they dislike. I await your response. .. !
