High schools right to search students Facebook accounts? - Skyllar. - 03-07-2014 07:33 AM
If a high school asks a student to log-in to their Facebook account is the student liable to decline? Would they be allowed to say no due to his/her own personal rights (without getting some form of punishment, [and the profile is private]) ? Or would those rights be diminished because he is attending the school? If the reason was for another student, would it be the same circumstances?

Don't give your high school passwords to anything online. If the issue was serious the police would get involved and sort things out.

No, the public school system cannot force anybody (including their own staff) to show them their facebook accounts because that is an illegal invasion of privacy. It would also be illegal for them to blackmail you to do it, like saying that you should show them your facebook or you get an f.

Not that I am aware of, your account is not their business.
