The Supreme Court seemed worried Tuesday about tying the hands of school officials looking for drugs and weapons on campus as they wrestled with the appropriateness of a strip-search of a 13-year-old girl accused of having prescription-strength ibuprofen.
Savana Redding was 13 when Safford, Ariz., Middle School officials, on a tip from another student, ordered her to remove her clothes and shake out her underwear looking for pills. The district bans prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
Wow, this is just a little to extreme. I thought that this is what police are paid to do not school officials. I understand that minors are not protected the same way adults are when it comes to rights but there has to be a point where a line is drawn, and I feel that it was definitely crossed with this case.
