Answer the U.S. History question.
The Supreme Court Case New Jersey v. TLO questioned the rights students had in public schools. TLO was a New Jersey high school student
whose locker was searched after school officials had reason to believe she was distributing drugs and cigarettes. She was found guilty and

(which protect a person's home, belongings and body from being searched without just cause) had been violated. Do you agree with the
Supreme Court's decision? Why or why not? In your answer, discuss the Fourth Amendment, how it applies to this case, and whether or not you
