I'll just add in a couple anecdotes to this conversation.

First of all, I have a breach of my own for an example. Two years ago, a teacher who I will say is now spending some quality time in an institution, called in a bomb threat to the school. The school called a fire drill, and all 4,000 students and teachers stood outside for 2 hours. When we returned to class to get our backpacks, we found that my teacher's door was unlocked (she had locked it when leaving) and many of our bags had been noticably moved and apparently searched through. In this case, the school did, in fact, search through every students' private property. Searching through the rooms, fine, its their property, but the students', its not.

Also, many items of clothing have been barred from my school, including any and all sports jerseys, red/blue shoelaces, red/blue shoes, etc. Now, we are also in Socal, and not the good version you see on TV, and there are many gangs (and a big problem last year concerning large gang brawls) at school, and a gun is found on a student 1-2 times a month. So perhaps some liberties are validly broken, but I am against many of them.
