It’s a slippery slope. Police should have broad powers to search all students’ cell phones, digital apparatuses, etc. No warrant required, because it’s merely an administrative search (to be followed by criminal charges). The children must be protected from themselves! Maybe when every little Bobby and Becky gets arrested on felony child porn charges, then maybe the public will start to notice. And when no school-aged children are allowed on school campuses. then what…no more public schools? This has all become so insane!!
