If the USSC fails to hammer the school over this they all need to collectively be waterboarded 266 times just for general principles.

The police don't have authority to question someone under-aged without a parent/guardian present. What on earth were they thinking strip searching a 13 yr. old? It's a humiliating assault IMO.

Yes, well, don't hold your breath waiting for righteous indignation from the SC justices.

We are presumed guilty when boarding planes--how else to account for the bared feet, virtual-naked body scans and proscriptions against bringing liquids of more than three ounces on a plane?

Same sort of arrant nonsense is taking place within schools. Ten years ago when my children were in high school, they could be suspended or expelled for bringing OTC painkillers to high school and taking them without prior permission from the nurse. Not kidding. High school administrators also started talking about having kids go through metal/weapons scanners before entering the campus--in the wake of Columbine.

I am sooooo glad to no longer have school-age children.

They who would give up a little freedom for the sake of security, deserve neither.

I'm going to be severely perturbed if this turns into another emminent domain type ruling by the Court.

"There HAS to be limits on what a school can and cannot do, and certainly they shouldn't have greater latitude in searches than law enforcement officers themselves have."

ITA!
