Strip Search of Students Illegal

Remember when I wrote the post about the V.principal Kerry Wilson mandating the strip search of a 13-year old girl for ibuprofen?  Well, the Supreme Court backs the student in this one and says that it’s not okay to have strip search of our students in schools.  Thank goodness someone was paying attention here.  Would we really say that this was allowed in schools and then send our kids there?

I asked, a few weeks ago, whether or not the body of a 13-year old girl belongs to the school which she attends, and thankfully the court says no.  Click here for the full background story:  Does the body of a 13 year old girl belong to the school district?
