My 17-year-old son's school received hearsay evidence that he attended an underage drinking party. Because he was accused of breaking a governmental law (under age drinking), shouldn't he have been given the right to call his parents and a lawyer, before questioning? He was kicked off a team because of admitting guilt.

Your son's civil rights were not violated.

He admitted it. That is not hearsay evidence. That is a confession.

You can break both a criminal law and a school policy at the same time. Schools do not have the same requirements as police in this manner and in fact have a quasi-guardian role. google "in loco parentis"

But of course he confessed, so its a moot point.
