That is bull****. And, what sort of school sends out a survey that asks someone to admit to criminal activity? Is this Pol Pot Land?

That is total BS. The school should never have issued such a form in the first place unless it were totally confidential. It is this sort of thing for which the ACLU exists.

Wonder if the board even had the sense to run it by their lawyer before using it.

I imagine this came from an admiinistrator without being run by anybody. A lawyer would have put the kebosh on it in a heartbeat.

They have a "community patrolman" on duty there. I would not be surprised they offered it up or that it was derived from some Federal Grant program guidelines/requirements

I guess the last thing you want to do with students is teach them their constitutional rights.

The response is strong but the story is kind of weak. I would of wanted to see the form first before I decided.
If it's a general questionare without anyone knowing who the respondents are, that's one thing, and if it's clearly different than that, then it's something else.

They had a similar survey like that at our high school, to get an idea of how many kids were actually drinking, etc. Only ours was anonymous and you dropped it off in a box later on. I forget how they used the data or if anyone actually filled it out.

If you read the story you might have noticed that the student's names were on the top of each survey.

Absolutely- or teach them basic finance or economics either.
