This is sort of related to cell phones again but it must be said.  Recently a student at our school, who i will not name for confidentiality reasons, was suspended for 25 days pending expulsion.  This is complete bull.  I will tell you the story and you can judge it how  you will but i think it is absolutely ridiculous.  He was sitting in the cafe with 2 other guys when the hall monitor walked in and asked them all where they were supposed to be.  They said nowhere we have spare, and she left.  Then she came back and told one of them to go to the pass room and the guy i'm talking about to go to class.  He said he hasn't been to that class all year and they won't let him drop it so he's not going.  So hall monitor sent him to the office.  Now i agree with this because he wasn't in class but the office to took it too far.  When he got to the office they said they were going to have to search him.  Now why would they need to search him at all for this?  He was skipping class...  Since he had nothing to hide from them he said go ahead and they searched him.  When they found nothing, they told him to hand over his phone.  Once again, why do they need to go through his phone?  What gives them the right?  When they went through his phone they found a text about something illegal.  The contents of the text were not taking place at the school.  Since they found this text message, he was suspended for 25 days or so and is now facing expulsion.  Aside from this story, i have heard from plenty of other people that have been searched or threatened to be searched for reasons that should not have anything to do with being searched.  It just doesn't seem right at all to me.
