I doubt they acted outside of there authority under the law. That does not mean the post 911 paranoia is reasonable, but the root problem is the Patriot Act style legislation. Administrators, Judges and Police have to fallow the law whether it makes sense or not there is just as big a chance the administrators get a lawsuit from over protective paranoid parents then the reverse. The authors trying to shoehorn this story into identity politics is unfortunately predicable click bait at this point. It just detracts form the actual issue which is overboard paranoid legislation which makes these incidents more likely.
