• Rock Band Combats Liberal Attacks on the National Anthem With This Patriotic ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ Video & Challenge

  Great song. Well done. I purchased all of their songs, initially to support them, but as it turns out I like them all. This rendition ranks up there with Amazing Grace and How Great Thou Art.

• School Banishes Standout High School Student for Lunchbox Mix-Up

  These searches are unconstitutional. The Constitution was supposed to protect Ashley. But now our government’s reach is out of control. Who will intervene now, to protect us from the institution once designed to protect us? We, the people of these United States are both blessed and burdened with a government drunk with absolute power. The school is not exempt from the Fourth Amendment.

  The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads as follows:
  “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

  In reply to DagneyT.

  What happened to our Fourth Amendment? Why do our schools have more authority over us than the police? These “random checks” of our childrens lockers and lunch boxes are actually unconstititional. For years, the majority of us were not bothered by these random lunchbox searches because it was intended to protect our children. But absolute power corrupts absolutely. I may seem a little extreme to some of you, but ponder this thought for a few minutes. I will gladly accept the risk being injured by fellow man and have a less intrusive government than have my every move (or even thought) regulated by the government. A government has ALWAYS proven to be more corrupt as it grows in size and authority. At some point, we will say, who is going to protect us from my government? That is exactly the situation Ashley now faces.

  I would like to see someone argue the constitutionality of these random searches.
