I don't know. This isn't as black and white as some of you are playing it out to be.
1. Drugs, regardless of what it is, has far higher consequences within school boundaries.
2. She was searched by all females.
3. She had no priors thus, there should have been some doubt in the accusations. But, that doesn't necessarily make it illegal, just unthoughtful.
I have 3 kids and I would like to feel that school is absolutely as safe as my own home. Thus if some punk kid drug user/weapon handler has to be stripped searched to remove items that could harm my kids, so be it. Then remove them from the school.
Better discretion for the particular individual in mind would be in order. Someone who is an honor student with no record of any behavior issues should probably be given the benefit of doubt.
Maybe the other girl should have been searched as well. Especially if she already has a behavior history.
Now, on the other had if any of my kids were stripped searched without my knowing and being present I would be furious. So, in the end she was a minor and the school is probably overstepping their abilities.
Yeah, my last paragraph is where I would stay. If my child was really considered to be a danger that a strip search was in order, I better be notified so I can be present, or my wife for that matter. But, there better be some good damn evidence. |
From reading ur thoughts, it sounds pretty damn black & white that she shouldn't have been allowed to be strip searched. That vice principal needs to get his a$$ fired.

I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed 
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
