What are some cases involving teenagers and the limiting of their civil rights at school?

I think an example would be when kids are lectured or suspended for having funky hair color. There have been a few cases actually in court because they argued that their hair color is a civil right that should not be infringed upon. Another example is if the lockers are searched without a warrant. Students have a right to expect privacy to their belongings in their own locker unless they are accused or suspected of something that would harm others and thus a warrant is issued.What are some cases involving teenagers and the limiting of their civil rights at school?
I remember recently reading in the NEw York Times about a case where a young female student was forced to strip because school administrators suspected she had drugs. She did not.





Imagine being accused of having drugs and forced to a strip search. So humiliating. This case is heading to the supreme court right now. I'm not sure if they came up with a decision or not. It should be interesting and perhaps a no brainier that this student civil right has been violated. I mean this is what they do in prison, not in schools.What are some cases involving teenagers and the limiting of their civil rights at school?
