what are student rights in Indianapolis?

The right to an education should be enough.  Maybe you should be asking "What are students' responsibilities?"

It's definitely constitutional.  If the students want to drink soda or eat candy, all they have to do is buy it off school property.  The school is simply saying that they won't provide the point-of-sale anymore.

Sure you do.  It just depends what you consider your civil rights to be.  Generally, your civil rights are freedom from discrimination based on race, religion, sexual orientation and the like.  This is different than the Bill of Rights - freedom from unreasonable search and siezure, freedom of speech, and things like that.  I'm not sure exactly how it works in Texas, but in New York, if you are a minor and are in school, then your principal is your legal guardian while you are at school and school related functions, so he can legally make decisions that you would normally think only yourself or your parents can make (minors are not legally able to give consent).

None.  As a Minor, you have the right to listen to you parents, go to school, study and do what other kids are doing:  learning the skills and info needed to become contributing members of society.  Regardless of country of origin, unless your parents had their rights stricken, they are presumed to be competent and raising you properly. \n\nYou should thank you parents for caring enough to be interested in your life.  I've been on my own since 17 years old, (I am now 28) and I wish I could have had my mom that interested in my life.  Now, with my parents passing, I am left to remember those times.\n\nLegally, as long as you are an unemancipated minor, you get to either follow their rules, or get punished.  Should you rebel by skipping school and such, you will be forced to attend, if noy locked away, forcibly schooled and otherwise regulated until you reach adulthood.\n\nTo become emancipated, at least generally in the US, you need to prove that you are both able to take care of yourself financially, scholastically and generally.  Quite hard, considering most kids get paid crap, don't like to save, and can not be trusted to go to school for themselves.\n\nAgain, give your folks a big hug and a kiss and thank them for taking a proactive stand in your life.

Sounds legal to me.\n\nBut, check out a book, "Tenent's Rights" (or some such title) by Nolo Press at the booksore, library, or at www.nolo.com .  They have a California-specific version that should address this *exact* situation.

You absolutely have that right. It is protected by the bill of rights -- right of assembly and free speech.

I'd contact the State Board of Education, the state Ombudsmen as well as Attorney General and the ACLU office in your state. Good luck to you....

Something you might want to do is look in local or school newspapers and see what issues come up. One issue may be the exit exam tests here in California. This is an issue because many teens are failing the test and are not passing highschool. SOmething that can be done about it is protesting, writing to local congress and getting involved in the process.\n\nI am hesitant to let you get away with doing a speech on why it sucks to not be allowed to bring iPods to school or something like that. So really try to think of a realistic issue teens face.\n\nLike:\nSex, drugs\nPressure from parents.\nDivorce at home\nNo community outreach to teenagers.\n\nGood luck

The job section of major newspapers often have regular columnists. You could email them your question.\n\nYou could go to or phone an individual at the Reference Desk of a Library. They could put their finger right on the book you need and hand it to you.\n\nPick a company at random and ask for their human resources department and then ask them that question. I would NOT mention your assignment to people at your job or your school -- unless this is a school or work assignment and you've been instructed to do so.\n\nAre these rights that are guaranteed by federal law? state law? Then you'd check out government listings for fair practices and employment.\n\nAnother thought might the ACLU: American Civil Liberties Union.\n\nNOW, the National Organization of Women, might have that information also.\n\nI am wondering though if you feel that your rights as an employee are not being respected? If that is true, then I would recommend that you find someone that you trust that will listen to you, maybe a therapist? Because if you are going to pursue learning of your rights with the intention of confronting your boss, it might be wise to approach the situation with the best possible attitude. And you could discuss what that might be with a therapist. I would imagine if you are feeling that way that you are angry. And that is not the best place to be coming from when approaching someone about such a serious topic as your privacy rights -- unless it is something really really blatantly wrong. In that case you'd probably want to talk to a lawyer. There are places where you can get free legal advice ("pro bono").\n\nAll the Best of Luck to You.

Rights of one who is not a party to an agreement or to a transaction but who may have rights  therein.  \n\nFor example, if you want to sell a house  that you leased to a third party, that party may have right to live there until the lease expires.

The main way it affects such a case is that it forbids the states from denying to any person within its jurisdiction the "equal protection of the laws." Thus, the state must provide the same educational opportunities to minoritiy students as to everyone else.

Yes, it can.  This issue has been settled by precident.  The locker is property of the state, as are the school grounds.  It has been ruled that students' expectations of reasonable privacy do not extend into their lockers.\n\nADDITION SOURCE \n\nThe caselaw I was citing was Isiah B v. State of Wisconsin concerning reasonable rights.  I've included a link.  You may also want to consult a law library to lookup the actual caselaw (New Jersey v. T.L.O is also a precident setting case which may concern you involving the individual's right to privacy versus the government's duty to maintain the public health & welfare).  Keep in mind that the right to privacy is not explicitly in the Constitution, so the evolution caselaw on this area is fascinating to read :)
