are schools allowed to force a student to sign something (like a referral) without properly explaining to the student what that document is?

[@alexanderson6716]

Contracts signed by a minor are not legally binding so if you are a minor in the US you can have anything with your signature canceled unless your parents also signed the form and no your school cant force you to sign anything (Freedom of speech)

[@thedamneddamsel8518]

so if i was told and forced to sign without knowing or being told what i was signing, that isn't legal right?

[@alexanderson6716]

If you parents also signed the form then it was legal but if you didn't know what you were signing and they forced you to do it then that was totally 100% illegal

[@alexanderson6716]

Nobody can force you to sign anything no matter if you're a minor or a legal adult if you were physically made to sign something then that was illegal

[@swishyswampy489]

I don't think so. It had caused news class controversy in the past

Are schools allowed to force people to dye their hair a different colour? It's not like it's gonna distract anyone :/
