State officials hopped on drug war propaganda are violating our rights. Zero policy school programs are a gateway abuse that leads to no-knock military assaults on private homes and other injustices.

Savana Redding, an eighth grade honor roll student at Safford Middle School in Tucson, Arizona, was pulled from class on October 8, 2003 by the school's vice principal, Kerry Wilson. Earlier that day, Wilson had discovered [drugs] in the possession of Redding's classmate....Under questioning and faced with punishment, the classmate claimed that Redding, who had no history of disciplinary problems or substance abuse, had given her the [drugs].

After escorting Redding to his office, Wilson presented Redding with the [drugs] and informed her of her classmate's accusations. Redding said she had never seen the [drugs] before and agreed to a search of her possessions, wanting to prove she had nothing to hide. Joined by a female school administrative assistant, Wilson searched Redding's backpack and found nothing. Instructed by Wilson, the administrative assistant then took Redding to the school nurse's office in order to perform a strip search.

In the school nurse's office, Redding was ordered to strip to her underwear. She was then commanded to pull her bra out and to the side, exposing her breasts, and to pull her underwear out at the crotch, exposing her pelvic area. The strip search failed to uncover any [drugs].

"I was embarrassed and scared, but felt I would be in more trouble if I did not do what they asked," said Redding in a sworn affidavit following the incident. "The strip search was the most humiliating experience I have ever had."
 
Reminds me of somthing that happened to me in Jr. HS. My homeroom teacher decided a buddy and I were drunk and reported us to the school police officer. We were both long haired degenerates and that along with grogginess was enough proof. Nevermind they were getting us up pretty early in the morning to catch the bus.

They searched our lockers and then brought us in, seperately, for questioning. They pulled the old, "your friend already confessed so you might as well come clean" lie. But by then, I was already familiar with that tactic and told them they were fing nuts and that it did not matter what he said, cause it was nonsense. Later I told my friend not to buy into their lies, but he was suspicious anyway.

How could anyone come to the conclusion that adults strip searching children in schools would be a good idea?

As I mentioned, they are high on Drug War propaganda. You have to understand that Drug War propaganda can turn usually sane people into sociopathic monsters.
 
We have random drug testing at our school. Students never know when they'll be taken out of class and asked to pee in a cup. I love it.

Not at all. I am a registered Libertarian, but my son's school has random pee testing and I live in a neighborhood with a HOA. Both are freedom of choice and association issues, there was no force or coercion involved. The school is private, and we were aware of this program from day one.

A private school is a bit different. You have at least submitted to creating an obedient slave in your child due to irrational hysteria propogated by the state.

I don't give a fuck what you are registered as, that's despicable. How about respecting your child?

Investigate "School Law" in your state. In some states such searches are legal. I am not advocating this type of search as I think it is way too much of an intrusion and is very demeaning, especially on the hearsay of some other student. My point is that in the public school systems, principals and other administrators have authorities that law enforcement doesn't have.
 
Probably true in this state, I haven't researched it. I am just saying that it is legal in some states and that administrators have greater authority and leeway when it comes to search and siezure than do the police.
 
There is a reason a lot of schools have cops at the school-- so they can do things that a teacher or administrator wouldn't be allowed to do (like search your person).

Nobody can. That's the problem. They are "educators" and think that they have far more power than they should.

They don't have that power in the first place, though. While it is true that certain rights do not apply to students, I don't believe that it is legal anywhere for a teacher to search the person of a student, much less make that student strip.
