In the Safford v. Redding case, Savanna Redding, a 13 year old middle school student, was unfairly strip searched by the nurse on the principal's orders. This was clearly a violation of her Fourth Amendment rights. Why wasn't her parents called? Her parents should have been called the second Savanna was called into the office for possible possession of drugs and deadly weapons. In the court's ruling, nobody was seen at fault and no one was in trouble. This is a terrible mistake in my opinion. The school treated this situation in the worst way possible and should be punished for their stupidity. There is no situation except if the school is in imminent danger should a school be allowed to strip search one of its students. In this case there was no imminent danger because all she was accused of having on her was pills. Someone please tell me if there is in any situation that pills are an immediate danger towards a school. Not only is the school at fault but the court should be at fault as well. I mean how stupid do you have to be to not find the principal guilty? The history of Savanna and the principal actually evokes a possible motive for the principal to embarrass the young girl. The ruling on this case is not only ridiculous but it is downright unAmerican.
