High Court Approves Searches of Students but Ducks Many Tough Issues.

Flygare, Thomas J.

Phi Delta Kappan, v66 n7 p504-05 Mar 1985

Reviews the United States Supreme Court's findings in "New Jersey vs. T.L.O.," a case hinging on the reasonableness of a school official's search of a student's purse. Cites several issues that remained unresolved after the decision and argues that the court could have been more helpful. (PGD)
