In 1969, the United States federal courts ruled that, "Students do not shed their constitutional rights... at the schoolhouse gate" in the famous student rights case of Tinker v. Des Moines.
Student rights that are often violated include protections against search and seizure, freedom of speech and expression (through Internet censorship, privacy invasion and mandatory school uniforms), zero tolerance and corporal punishment policies which impact due process.
