MY ARGUMENT

I really think that the courts took way to long with their decision and reasoning but these things always do. I mean come on now what is wrong here let’s see a 13 year old girl was strip searched at a school by the administration, without the consent or knowledge of her parents. I mean is the vice principle stupid or just ignorant. But that is really what is going on the administration thinks that they can do whatever they want if they feel it will protect their students even if that is destroying an honor roll 13 year old girls reputation and all self confidence she may of had which is not much in high school. A self-described nerd, Redding says she wasn't worried.

"I've never been in trouble, so I didn't think there was anything I could possibly have done to be in trouble," Redding says. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103215199

Listen to what Redding's lawyer, Adam Wolf, counters, that a strip search is entirely different from a search of a purse or a backpack.

"Children call their private parts their private parts for a reason. They not subject to exposure, to observation by school officials. When children are strip-searched, they experience trauma that's similar in kind and degree to sexual abuse," says Wolf.

The parents have every reason to sue.

Equally stupid is that the school district has pressed this court case all the way up to the Supreme Court. I mean come on do they really think they have a case. They could be losing millions of dollars. Let not mentioin the cost of the lawyers and time it took to get everything ready, all that money could of gone to buying new books or somthing I know there schools are not in working conditioin and they are making cut backs but they will pay for a lawyer to for a case that they where sure to lose. Shall I say on of my favorate word they are just IDIOTS.

The entire school board and all the administrators and employees involved should have been fired. It makes me crazy that the school district has persisted in incurring the kind of expense involved in pursuing this case, even after a federal appeals court deemed the search “excessively intrusive.”

The Bill Of Rights, in the Fourth Amendment specifies (emphasis added),

Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Bottom line "there is no drug exception to the constitution" and this was a blatant violation of that girls civil liberties point, blank, period.

Does the school district really think they have a case YES THEY DO. Do you know why? THEY ARE IDIOTS, just not any old idiot, THEY ARE THE #@%$!$ IDIOTS!!!

But she won the case so that is all that matters.
