From Flex Your Rights:
So a 13 year-old honor student (in government school, where else?) is suspected of having drugs. You know, the real hard-core smack, literally ones (two, total) of ibuprofen pills. Dangerous stuff that. Have to regulate it, zero tolerance and all!
Zero tolerance = zero thinking allowed.
She refused to produce the pills (because she didn't have them) so two (female) school staffers had her strip to her knickers, then shake out her bra & panties.
This, understandably, was disturbing to the girls' parents (who undoubtedly thought it was a "good public school" that was warehousing their daughter). They won at the 9th circuit court of appeals.
Good.
The SCOTUS has agreed to take the case.
Bad? Why does SCOTUS need to hear this 4th amendment case from the 9th circuit?
********
Just mark this down as reason #n that I don't want my children being "educated" in government schools. Oh sure, they would never do this in your school district. Right. You go right ahead and think that. I'll do my best to act surprised when the next headline news story is from your child's school.
End of day update: Reason n+1: a co-worker just told me that his 6 year-old learned a new phrase at school: lick your girlfriend's vag!na. Isn't that cute? Look how well-socialized the boy is! Terrible. Just terrible.
