    printer friendly version

    Question: Does the Zero Tolerance policy for weapons at school violate any of our constitutional rights?

    Answer: No. The United States Supreme Court has for years been clear that school administrators have the right to restrict your constitutional rights in order to keep you safe when you are at school. The Court has held on many occasions that because you are in the care of the school during school days, schools can take the steps necessary to maintain safety and order. This means that schools can impose restrictions that would not be necessarily be constitutional when applied to adults in general. Schools have been allowed to restrict First Amendment rights to free speech and press, the Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches; and, of course, the Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. Although this may sound strict, all of it is intended to keep you safe when you are in school.

    Hi. My name is Beth Bradbury and I am studying to be an Elementary Education Major. I am doing a research paper on the topic of zero tolerance. I am still confused on whether I think it is a good idea or not but I do believe it doesnt break any Constitutional laws. The only thing it does is protect teachers and students from being hearmed!! Thanks
