This is Homecoming week at my high school. Our school has this "tradition" of doing this thing called Homecoming Wars. This is when everybody chases each other around town during the night, throwing water balloons and shooting each other with water guns. It's all good clean fun.
Then you have a few "thugs" who take advantage of the situation. They throw eggs, toilet paper trees, and basically vandalize the city.
This kind of behavior is stupid and looked down upon by the "good kids" (like me ;D).
Anyway, our Principal made an announcement, telling the student body that it was illegal for students to have water guns, water balloons, eggs, saran wrap, etc. in their vehicle. He also said that the police would pull over any student that they saw riding around could search their vehicle without permission. Me and a few of my friends (who are against the vandalism 100%) are appalled at his statement.
So, we printed off a sign that said "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!!!" with a copy of the 4th Amendment:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. "
...and hung it in the hallway between classes.
People began stopping to read it, and before the day was over almost everyone had read it.
Well, the administration decides that we can't do this. They threaten to punish us. They even threatened to take our computer privileges away, which would consequently make us fail a few of our classes.
We're waiting on our punishment.
Apparently, the Principal's warped ego comes before the constitution.
