170. Un-fucking-believable.
Edited on Sat Apr-17-10 10:08 PM by Withywindle
Yes, yes, minors are technically inferior citizens with fewer rights than full adults. HOWEVER, as far as I know, there is no law that allows school administrators to usurp the authority of BOTH parents AND the police.

Either the Fourth Amendment applies to everyone, or it doesn't! And if there is any authority that can legitimately override the Fourth Amendment, I guarantee you it isn't the principal and faculty of Weaseltit High School, Weaseltit, Bumfuck, USA.

That was the point of my post. I want teenagers to apply their notorious anti-authoritarian deviousness in ways it will help the world the MOST. Like, using legal channels to take down petty authoritarians whose self-declared "good" intentions are leading straight to the sex-offender ward. So those tin-pot dictators won't ever again be in a position of power where they're ever again allowed to photograph other kids in their goddamn pajamas without their knowledge or consent.
