Judge Alito Joins Ruling Denying Privacy Rights for Students Over Drug Use Survey
A federal appeals court that included Judge Samuel Alito Jr. yesterday dismissed a lawsuit against a Bergen County school district over a survey that asked students about their sexual activities and drug and alcohol use. The three-judge appeals court unanimously concluded the anonymous survey -- given to students in the seventh through 12th grades -- did not violate the constitutional privacy rights of either the students or their parents.
