Public schools
are filled with eager, fresh-faced youngsters, and prisons contain
many rough-looking adults with uninviting personalities. But put
aside that difference, writes Steve Chapman, and you find some
important similarities between the two places—government-run
facilities where individuals are held for a specific number of
years without their consent, at the mercy of their custodians. So
it was a mild surprise last week to learn from the Supreme Court
there are some abridgments of freedom and invasions of privacy
inflicted on children that the justices will not tolerate.
