Teen strip-searched for aspirin! -

Please help by praying that the Supreme court gets SOMETHING right in this case. The safety of children in our schools is crucial, and this decision will show how much power a school has to strip search its students.

13-year-old's school strip-search case heads to Supreme Court
(CNN) -- The case of a 13-year-old Arizona girl strip-searched by school officials looking for ibuprofen pain-reliever will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court this week. The justices in January accepted the Safford school district case for review, and will decide whether a campus setting gives school administrators greater discretion to control students suspected of illegal activity than police are allowed in cases involving adults in general public spaces.
The case is centered around Savana Redding, now 19, who in 2003 was an eighth-grade honors student at Safford Middle School, about 127 miles from Tucson, Arizona. Redding was strip-searched by school officials after a fellow student accused her of providing prescription-strength ibuprofen pills. The school has a zero-tolerance policy for all prescription and over-the-counter medication, including the ibuprofen, without prior written permission.
"In this case, the United States Supreme Court will decide how easy it is for school officials to strip search your child," Adam Wolf, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union who is representing Redding, told CNN Radio on Sunday.
Wolf told CNN Radio his client was traumatized by the search. "School officials undoubtedly have difficult jobs, but sometimes they overreact -- and this was just a clear overreaction," he said.
Redding was pulled from class by a male vice principal, escorted to an office, where she denied the accusations. A search of Redding's backpack found nothing. Then, although she never had prior disciplinary problems, a strip search was conducted with the help of a school nurse and Wilson's assistant, both females. According to court records, she was ordered to strip to her underwear and her bra was pulled out. Again, no drugs were found.
In an affidavit, Redding said, "The strip search was the most humiliating experience I have ever had. I held my head down so that they could not see that I was about to cry."
At issue is whether school administrators are constitutionally barred from conducting searches of students investigated for possessing or dealing drugs that are banned on campus. A federal appeals court found the search "traumatizing" and illegal.
Some parents say older children deserve the same constitutional rights as adults, but educators counter a school setting has always been treated differently by courts, and a ruling against them could jeopardize campus safety.
While a federal magistrate and a three-panel appeals court found the search was reasonable, the full 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Redding last year. "Common sense informs us," wrote the court, "that directing a 13-year-old girl to remove her clothes, partially revealing her breasts and pelvic area, for allegedly possessing ibuprofen ... was excessively intrusive." The court said the school went too far in its effort to create a drug- and crime-free classroom. "The overzealousness of school administrators in efforts to protect students has the tragic impact of traumatizing those they claim to serve. And all this to find prescription-strength ibuprofen."In its appeal to the Supreme Court, the school district said restrictions on conducting student searches would cast a "roadblock to the kind of swift and effective response that is too often needed to protect the very safety of students, particularly from the threats posed by drugs and weapons."
School officials said the court was "wholly uninformed about a disturbing new trend" -- the abuse of over-the-counter medication by teenagers.
The high court has a mixed record over the years on students' rights.
In a famous 1969 ruling, the justices said students do not "shed their constitutional rights ... at the schoolhouse gate." But decisions in the 1980s gave administrators greater discretion, including one case that said officials need not be required to have a warrant to search a student's locker. Such a search was permitted if there were "reasonable" grounds for believing it would turn up evidence and when the search was not "excessively intrusive."
Opinions in 1995 and 2001 allowed schools to conduct random drug testing of high school athletes, and those participating in other extracurricular activities. And in a well-publicized 2007 ruling from Alaska, the Supreme Court upheld the suspension of a student who displayed a large "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" banner at an off-campus, but school-sponsored, event. The decision did not endorse a broader argument that students in general have limited free-speech rights when they interfere with a school's vaguely defined "educational mission."
The court could now be asked to clarify the extent of student rights involving searches, and the discretion of officials regarding those they have responsibility over.
The case is Safford United School District No. 1 v. Redding (08-479).

The only people I know of that get their kicks by removing the clothing from children are Catylicks. NO Catylick especially a Priest or a Nun should be allowed to be around children. It's reprehensible that they are allowed into public schools! Perverts!
Yours in Christ

I'm not quite sure how to feel about this one, Brother King.
After all, it sounds like the girl was accused of dealing drugs on campus. Shouldn't she be humiliated for such activity? No Christian would be dealing drugs!
And why is it that every hoodrat who gets in trouble with the law is an honor student? Are standards THAT low?
Bible boring? Nonsense!

I am outraged. The school had the nerve to strip the girl down to her underwear? And stop there? If you're going to check a child for drugs, you need to remove his or her underpants. You also need rubber gloves, magnified glasses, a flashlight, and a snack in case the search takes a while. Get with the program, Safford school district.

I am a teacher and let me tell you we don't need kids zonked out on ibuprefen or cough syrup terrorizing other students.
She should have been paddled until she told who her "pusher" was!
Matthew:
5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled
10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Godly point Brothers. I do not know how many times I have had to remove child druggies from Freehold Christian Freedom Schools campuses for a full body cavity search because of prescription drug abuse. Frankly if I had my way every kid at that school would be threw our examination cell here at the station. Child safety can not be trifled with, drugs open children to predatory adults.
Remember the Columbian killers took cough syrup.
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

I always performed surprise cavity searches on my children, and now I perform such searches on my grandchildren. I have never used lubrication. If you do that, children start to expect all sorts of things, like being beaten with a belt on the end that doesn't have the buckle.

Were the administrators who searched the girl Catholic by any chance?
I have heard stories from some of the Mexican children I council of there being cameras in the principal's office, and that they administrators will sell the tapes of children being searched on the black market.
Tragic
Luke 5:10
For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes that they had taken: And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth, thou shalt catch men.

What that school did was unacceptable and outrageous. Oh my Gods, the poor girl! They can't possibly be allowed to get away with that! I can understand checking her backpack, maybe asking her to turn out her pockets, but stipping her! That's terrible! And you people with your ridiculous cavity searches: that's just... That's just disgusting.

If drugs weren’t so rampant in our LIEbral schools there would be no need for these searches.
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.

You can never be too careful. You never know what kind of inappropriate things kids carry with them, especially stolen contraband.

It's easier to turn a kid whacked out on dope into a witch.

Don’t worry Brother Nobar, during yesterday’s deliberations, Judge Breyer confronted the seriousness of the 13-year-old druggie’s complaint about being stripped searched by simply asking, “why is this a major thing to say strip down to your underclothes, which children do when they change for gym?" He went on to say, “In my experience when I was 8 or 10 or 12 years old, you know, we did take our clothes off once a day, we changed for gym, OK? And in my experience, too, people did sometimes stick things in my underwear.” With Judge Breyer bringing common sense to the bench, I’m sure that little druggie will stay in jail.
Matthew 5:17-18 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
