Re: is this legal?
It is safe to say that school officials have nearly complete control of school grounds. Not actually doing the act may be a defense, but that is missing from the post. School is not a court of law, and does not require the same level of proof (though I note in many cases, physical evidence is not necessary for a conviction). Anyone who does this should consider themselves fortunate that they are not arrested and charged with a crime.
