		<description><![CDATA[Which direction should the bill of a baseball cap point and should it result in an arrest if a high school  student points it the wrong way?  Increasingly, schools are imposing a "double dose" of punishment for violations of rules.  In this article, failure to timely point the bill of a cap to the front resulted in a school suspension and an arrest for disorderly conduct--a criminal charge or violation that could be lodged against every student causing even a brief disruption.  A similar but more serious charge is disrupting official business.  Should students be placed at risk for criminal intervention whenever a school rule is violated?  If not, where's the line?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Schools are increasingly using drug dogs on campus.  When the dogs find drugs in the possession of students, there are often few complaints about discipline even though planting a drug in a student's locker or backpack is a cinch.  But what if a dog alerts to a student and no drugs are found?  Can the student be suspended just for having the odor of an illicit drug on his/her clothing or backpack?
