It may sound simplistic, but a US Judge reconfirmed that just because you are twelve years old, you still have rights under the First and Fourth Amendments to the Constitution and as such are protected under the law. The sixth-grade student is represented by the ACLU and the case could go to court for civil rights violations for the school system forcing the student to turn over her Facebook password and subsequent search of her Facebook account and emails.
“Students do not shed their First Amendment rights at the school house gate. The Supreme Court ruled on that in the 1970s, yet schools like Minnewaska seem to have no regard for the standard.”
