Is it illegal for a private Christian school to go through a students cel phone and read the text messages?

Question

I understand the student was not suppose to be using it during school hours that is our policy, the parent is suppose to come pick up the phone before or after school when a cel phone is confiscated from the student but the head master actually read the students text messages and called the parent in for a conference. is it legal to actually read or go through the phone.....???

Answer 1

Yeah im pretty sure thats illegal...
even though the studebt was not suppost to have it, that doesn't give anybody to go through the phone and read messages...
that's getting into that students private business.

Answer 2

There are many reasons people SAY they are opposed to gay marriage, but are these the REAL reasons more than half of Americans think it best to deny someone their right to marry? A major thing like denying rights should call for major reason behind it, and none of the supposed ones hold any water. There is only ONE reason they are really against it: narrow-minded fear. Many people are just plain uncomfortable with homosexuality altogether, and do not want to see it becoming accepted by society. Some are downright disgusted with the mere thought of two men sharing a life together, and disguise that fear with something that comes off as a valid claim. There is no reason whatsoever to deny a tax-paying American the right that so many enjoy. This should not even be an issue today. This country is supposedly free, but until same-sex marriage becomes legal, this country, in actuality, is NOT free.

Answer 3

It is the modern form of passing notes - was it illegal for a teacher to read a love note out loud after he intercepted it from a student in the era before cell phones? It's the same idea.

Answer 4

I seriously doubt it's illegal. Even in the public schools, a minor student has no "right to privacy".

Answer 5

It was until Bush started his illegal wire tappings. Now anybody and everybody that considers themselves to have a little authority are doing the same thing.

No
