That principal is extremely lucky that was not my daughter.

Or mine.

Safford Middle School has a "zero tolerance" policy that prohibits possession of all drugs, including not just alcohol and illegal intoxicants but prescription medications and over-the-counter remedies...

Yet I'm sure they give referrals to Planned Barrenhood which gives out birth control pills to teens like candy.

I would have ended up in jail if somebody forced Sassy to remove her clothing. They easily could wait until a parent got to the school. I would be yanking my child out of that school & getting a very good lawyer asap.

Ok... I just read another thread about an openly gay elementary school teacher given some type of award, then I read this.
What is going on in our public schools? This is absolutely INSANE! First teacher to strip search my child - especially “inspecting his/her crotch” - would meet disasterous consequences. All this over suspicion of Advil. I suppose if she was under suspicion for having condoms and birth control pills, she would have never been bothered.....

actually, my daughter probably would have stood her ground against being searched. I’m sure I would have gotten a phone call.

A 13yo might tend to be more easily intimidated, though not all 13yos are. As a shy, innocent 13yo, I would've gone along with whatever the school told me. But, as a not-so-innocent, argumentative 15yo, I didn't even let high school administrators search my purse.

The administrators would tell my tough-talking friends to empty their purses routinely, and they always complied. When the dean told me to empty my purse, I said, "Do you have a warrant?" Needless to say, the dean didn't even touch my purse.

I wonder what would happen to a kid who refused today like I did oh-so-many years ago. If this 13yo had refused the strip search, I doubt the school officials would've forced her into a strip search. They relied on the fact that she was a nice girl who would follow orders.

I still can’t get over the fact they didn’t wait for the mother to get to the school. I know I would have told the school to go to hell at 13 yrs old. I really don’t know what they would have done had she said no. I do know if someone stripped my child of her clothes I would be furious. I hope the mother sues the school. I don’t care for lawsuits too much but sometimes they are needed.

“I hope the mother sues the school. I don’t care for lawsuits too much but sometimes they are needed”

At the very least I would be in the Sheriffs/DAs office asking for charges to be filed. The I’d probably be in my State Representatives office. Thats all assuming I didn’t take a baseball bat to the principal.

Sexual battery under the color of authority.

While I understand the sentiment, this repeated suggestion is a horrible cop-out, a call to surrender our civil liberties and attempt to withdraw behind private fortifications.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What should parents do? Should they throw their children into the fires of Moloch hoping to put out the flames?

Sorry,,,but children should **not** be used as political foot soldiers sent out to fight an adult's battle in the atheistic, Secular Humanist government indoctrination camps. Neither should children be used a missionaries to bring a little “salt and light” to the government schools.

Finally, the best way to fight the government schools is to work to shut them down. Removing children is one of the most effective ways to do that.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Why? So that we can train children to submit to government brown shirt with K-9’s on a leash?

Sorry,,,But, it sounds utterly Orwellian.

Better for me to homeschool my kids than spend time in jail for ripping the persons who did this limb from limb.

Quite so. Anoreth would have left the nurse in piece on the floor, even at 13. (Tough girl ... Marines material :-). On the other hand, the younger girls would probably cave, which would leave me having to chew the person to bits (very unsanitary) and cause lots of legal trouble, too.

What a dreadful story, and hardly the first one of this sort. Remember the Pennsylvania situation where they did vaginal exams on girls trying out for a sports team?

... two judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, who last fall ruled that the strip search did not violate Savana's Fourth Amendment rights.

We still HAVE a Fourth Amendment?

Yes. Why is it the educators are protected from the consequences f behavior that would land another person in jail, probably for life and have then branded as a sex offender definitely for life?

Child abuse is child abuse, no matter who does it. It makes no difference to the child who is being abused. The fact of the abuse happened, the damage is done.

My youngest daughter would have reacted the same way. My older is more likely to comply. Just their natures. It’s been much more difficult to teach the older one to stand up for herself.

As people have been observing on other threads recently, it's the government's system, and they make the rules. Among the government's rules is that their people are excused from consequences of their actions. Look at Congress: they almost always excuse themselves from the laws they impose on others.

What other racket permits an institution to, first, fail to accomplish its purpose, and also violate civil and criminal law, and get away with it year after year ... with more and more funding? It really boggles the mind.
