First, I'm glad I went to private schools and oversears chools .

Second, can you clarify that case you posted? The first paragraph indicates that the fourth ammendmant still applies. But the second paragraph says school officials are exempt from the warrant requirement if the search is reasonable. There is no question that students can be expelled; but can evidence that gets a student expelled (rolling papers or whatever) also be used criminally?

And in the case of the child with the scissors -- could the way those scissors were discovered be a legal search for criminal purposes? And if not, under what grounds was the child arrested?
