No you do not have to have taxes taken out of your SS check. Unless you specifically request to have taxes taken out, they will not be taken out.
But remember that whether you have taxes taken out or not does not affect the taxability of your payments. At the end of the year, you have to fill out Form 1040 to figure out if you owe any taxes. If you didn't have enough taxes taken out, you will have to pay the difference at that time. If you had too much tax taken out, you will get a refund.
Whether your SS benefits are taxable is a fairly complicated calculation that depends on your filing status, your total income, and amount of non-taxable income such as municipal bond interest. See Publication 915 for details of how to determine if your Social Security benefits are taxable:

taxes and social security
Yes, taxes are typically not taken out of Social Security benefits before you receive them. However, you may owe income taxes on your Social Security benefits depending on your total income and filing status.
Social Security (FICA) taxes are withheld from your gross (before tax) salary.
No. FICA taxes (Social Security, Medicare, etc) are only paid on earned income.
Presumably the question is about U.S. Social Security taxes. Social Security taxes (commonly referred to as FICA taxes) are taken out of your earnings each time you receive a paycheck. This rule applies even if the employee is already receiving Social Security benefits. However, by continuing to work, future Social Security benefits may be increased to take into account the additional earnings.
The IRS can garnish up to 15% of your Social Security Disability check unless you work out an alternate repayment plan or are categorized as "uncollectible" due to income and expenses. It would be in your best interest to contact the IRS to discuss your options.
Disability and taxes are unrelated. If you were injured on the job, file with the employment security office of your state. If not, check with Social Security.
If the school is your employer, and they are taking out Social Security taxes from your pay check then, yes they need your social security.

Yes. Social Security and Medicare are taken out of your income before you see your paycheck. Your employer also pays an additional Social Security and Medicare tax to your account.
