Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Louisiana

Is it legal/constitutional for a school disciplinarian to force a student to log on to his/her personal Facebook account (under the threat of punishment) so that the disciplinarian can view that student's friends and group pages? There were no probable causes or threats againts the safety of anyone that would lead the disciplinarian to take this action. Am I wrong in thinking student's rights are violated under the 1st Amendement (freedom to speech and assembly as Facebook is a online assembly and speech forum), 4th Amendment (unfair search/seizure), and 9th Amendment (privacy falls under nonenumerated rights that shouldn't be disparaged) in this situation? Tinker v. Des Moines says student's rights do not stop at the school house gate.

It sounds like an unreasonable search and seizure to me, given the facts as you state them.
