Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Wisconsin

Re: Schools

Actually, yes. Schools are contemplated as being "in loco parentis" in the law, meaning, roughly, in the place of parents. So, just as at home, the situation is really not a democracy in which individual rights are clearly observed and respected, but more a dictatorship in which it is presumed, rightly or wrongly, that the parent knows best and has, therefore, the right to dictate to the child. The civil rights which exist in the adult world, then, are seriously curtailed in the world of the student.
