If they were law enforcement officers, I'm pretty sure they'd have had an obligation to involve the parents prior to strip searching.

let's sum up: some people are fascists and some people like to strip search OTHER people.
I belong to the latter. HOWEVER (and this is HUGE) I do NOT wish to search anyone,anytime, ever, who is not at least 35 years old. AT LEAST. some people are crazy fuckheads. some people think the word of a co-worker or student is more believeable than the word of their OWN child. I pity, pity, pity those parents. I know my own children. I would trust them, not the word of some whoever.

Ahh you are all a bunch of sissies. What are you gonna say when they approve of extraordinary rendition and the five techniques? I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
Just a matter of time...

That's weird about the water bottles Razz although I guess they had cause. Over here all the kids are required to take water bottles to school. Mainly because of the climate and the fact that it's usually pretty warm.
Anyway, I can't imagine they'd ever ban water bottles here in schools.

Oh, I entirely agree. This thread just touched a nerve, since I've not been out of high school long enough yet. I'm still bitter about having to worry whether or not I remembered to take the headache pills out of my purse from over the weekend. And don't even get me started on "weapons"...grr

Only Clarence Thomas thought strip searching a girl for ibuprofen was OK.
Unfortunately, seven justices thought this wasn't obvious, and ruled that the school administrators couldn't be sued.

Amazing. Clarence Thomas did not follow Scalia's lead. He finds nothing wrong with student strip searches without due cause? Even Scalia found that unacceptable.

I don't think school administrators should be strip searching kids even with due cause. If anyone is strip searching children, it should be cops with due cause and warrants.
