1. Students cannot be forced to say the pledge of allegiance because you would be violating the 1st and 14th Amendments if you told them they had to. The teachers considered it "insubordination" if the students did not salute the flag, but the court later ruled in favor of the student.
2. It is not a violation of the 4th Amendment if a school was to drug test a student before their participation in a school based extra curricular activity. The school's job is to maintain discipline, health, and safety.
3. It is unconstitutional to cut funding for public schools and then give tuition grants to those going to private schools.
4. Education is a fundamental human right. No person should be denied their right to education.
5. Any quota system violates the Civil Rights Act.
6. The Civil Rights Law outlaws discrimination based on race. No person should be denied because of the color of their skin.
7. The Exclusionary Rule basically states that if you were being searched for one thing, but another thing was found, you cannot get in trouble for that other thing they found. They would have to go and get another search warrant for that thing and then search again.
8. (I am a bit unsure about this, but this is what I took away from the presentation) If you lie, this gives someone the right to search your things. (TLO Case- she lied to her principal about smoking in the bathroom, so he searched her things)
9. Public schools cannot teach religion. They would be violating students' freedom of religion.
10. Schools have the right to admit the top 10% in order to maintain diversity.
