Answer:
1. d) There was a lack of evidence that the students ' actions disrupted learning.
2. c) Students have fewer privacy rights in school than in other public settings.
3. d) Brianna's 1st Amendment rights (freedom of speech) were violated, and her actions did not cause any disruptions to the day-to-day functioning of the school.
4. c) New Jersey v. T.L.O.
5. a) Bell's recording provided grounds for a substantial disruption and interference with normal school activities.
Explanation:
- The court ruled that the school administration's search of T.L.O.'s pocketbook in this instance did not violate the 4th Amendment. The fourth amendment applies to everyone in the school, including the administrators.
- On June 25, 2009, the Supreme Court upheld, reversed, and remanded. In a judgement made by the court in the 4th amendment case of New Jersey v. T. L. O., the Court decided that the search did not meet the "reasonable suspicion" requirement for searches of kids in a school context.
- Due to the policy's vagueness and potential for discriminatory application, the court found it illegal. The court also said that Brianna's 1st Amendment rights had been violated because her actions didn't change how the school normally ran.
