OVERZEALOUS SCHOOL OFFICIALS TAKE STRIP SEARCH TOO FAR

By nUrmind2 on | From legalnewsandmommyviews.typepad.com
Dear ACLU Supporter, When Savana Redding was just 13 years old, she was strip-searched by school officials for allegedly possessing prescription-strength ibuprofen. This traumatizing search was based solely on the false and uncorroborated accusation of a classmate who was caught with similar pills.   Overzealous school officials violated Savana's rights and called into question basic constitutional protections for all students in schools across America.   This morning, the Supreme Court...Read Full Story

Searching Savana

By susanunpc on | From noquarterusa.net
Middle School was the pits. The only kids who weren’t self-conscious in the extreme about their evolving bodies and appearance were those few precocious jocks destined for high school football glory. To minimize exposure of the shiny wire braces on his teeth, one of my friends refused to speak unless absolutely necessary. Another tried to fake mononucleosis (the teenage diagnosis du jour) to buy time so that a bad haircut could grow out. So it is difficult to imagine how 13 year old...Read Full Story
