You know when I was in highschool running wild I seem to remember hearing a few stories about people being searched in similar fashion. I wonder what exactly the search entailed however. Was it just a bra shake? Or was it a squat down and cough search? Either way it need not have happened, especially on the word of another student…..You know…if people waive their rights they they wave their rights….whats the world coming to….

Privatization of schools is an entirely different can of worms altogether, which may or may not help discourage situations like this in the future. Unfortunately in this instance, what’s done is done.

there already is a market for private schools. one problem though is that people who send their students to private schools essentially have to pay for school twice–once in property and other taxes, and once in private school tuition.

private schools can actually educate children for about half of what if costs public schools to do so. i have the information, but im gonna save it for when i post about schools

[...] Americanly Yours placed an interesting blog post on Stripped Of Her RightsHere’s a brief overviewI hate watching the news on tv, but I happened to catch about 30 seconds of it last night. The Supreme Court is now hearing a very peculiar case. The case is over whether a public school has the right to conduct a strip search on one of its students [in this case, a 13 year old girl]. As I watched this story on the news, I asked my self aloud “what possible compelling interest can there be to justify strip searching a 13 year old girl at her school?” Well, the girl was accused of hiding so [...]

One problem, if the school is a public one (I’m assuming it is) then suing the school is simply suing the public coffers. Lawyers get rich, taxpayers get screwed. I don’ t know what it would take to sue the individual actors personally, but obviously there’s a lot less money to be had there than suing the school system.

This could bend into another rant, but common sense needs to be brought back to the enforcement of school rules. 365 day suspensions for water pistols and toy gun key chains doesn’t make any sense either…
