The supreme court ruled that strip searching students is illegal. A-men brother! The student in question was said to have extra-strength ibuprofin. Her bag was searched then her pockets. When that came up negative she was sent to the nurse and was told to strip. She was told to take off her bra and then pull her underwear away from her body to show her pubic region. All of which came up negative.
Can you imagine being a 13-year-old girl and told to take off your clothes and show your pubic region (without parental consent). I would have been mortified.
The problem with the ruling? From the LA Times
"In today's ruling, the justices agreed the search itself was unconstitutional, but they also rejected the suit against the school employees because the law had not been clear."
This is really frustrating. The law is not clear? What makes a principal think they can take it this far? At no point in time should a school strip search a student to this degree for over the counter headache medicine. This was WAY beyond what is needed.
