Student Rights Student Rights Student rights policies have changed over the years. Up until the 80’s student were able to do more then they are now for example, smoking cigarettes was allowed in special rooms in the school building. Children in most schools were allowed to leave without problem for their lunch break but now most schools confined the students to the property and will be punished if they leave. Many students who attend public schools minors and don’t enjoy the same rights as those of all Americans. Administrators think the discipline is necessary so an incident like Columbine doesn’t occur again. Civil libertarians wonder if such strict discipline in schools will result in a generation of people who feel like they are trapped in an unfairly targeted “age-specific police state”. (www.studentrights.com) In more recent years a “zero-tolerance” policy has brought school restrictions to lengths that are thought to be absurd. "Zero-tolerance” policy allows no second chance. If your caught doing something against the rules of the school the “zero-tolerance” means that they are immediately kicked out. For example, students have been expelled for giving classmates aspirin because it was having a drug in school.
