Students, are one of the largest groups in America today, and constantly growing. It is a requirement in the United States that all minors under the age of 16 attend school. However, in the schools, their rights as citizens are often violated. Instead of following their basic individual rights, students' rights as citizens are ignored by the administrators of the schools. Why does this happen? In order for the next generation to become productive citizens they must learn how to use their rights effectively.
While some rights in today’s society are not appropriate in the school building, Rights such as free speech, freedom from unwarranted search and seizure, and the freedom of religion. Why do schools get away with these clear violations of the Bill of Rights? Schools justify the violations with the claim that they’re only students and a, who are not ready for the responsibility, that they need protection from the dangers of the world. We students are our future, and should be taught how to insure the future of America, through their rights.
Back then in the late 1800's and early 1900's child labor was a difficult time in life. Many children never had the oppurtunity to go to school and get a education. They had to work for long hours in dangerous conditions , for vey little pay. Mother jones tried to help this movement by trying to get an education for children. By the late 1800's states and territories have passed 1,600 laws regulating work conditions and limiting or forrbiding child labor. The act was declared constituional in 1941 by the U.S supreme court.
