I’m getting tired of these stories, and have even gone as far to tell my children to disobey any school administrator/teacher that tells them to remove their clothing. Who would have thought that I’d have to add don’t listen to a school administrator/teacher when they tell you to strip to my do not talk to strangers, call me if you’re going to be late list. But I have, and I resent it. Now, I know strip searching a student is an action 99% of administrators and teachers would never partake in – most probably feel the same way I do. That said, the fact this is happening – again – makes me wonder about what happens when a group of adults with authority get together behind closed doors with students.
And why these people weren’t fired immediately and placed on the sex offender registry is beyond me. Sounds harsh? Tough. If any other adult did what these fools did what do you think would happen to them?
Oh, but they’re denying that what they did was strip searching. “Crozier (Interim Superintendent) said faculty members denied it was a strip-search. “According to our board policy, it was an allowable search.” Um, okay. You decide.
Hudson’s client, who is 15, “was asked to remove all of her clothing including her undergarments,” he said.
One mother said the girl refused to take off her underwear in front of everyone, but went around a corner and did so.
Some of the girls didn’t take off their underwear because it was more revealing than the other girls’, making it more obvious that nothing was hidden underneath, said Noethe, one of the lawyers.
Hudson said, “Someone asked if they could just lift up their bra and they were told that wasn’t good enough.”
One of Noethe’s clients was searched twice, he said.
“She was told to take her clothes off and put them back on, then told to do it again because we need you to take your bra off,” Noethe said.
The search occurred in the presence of the student who reported the missing $100, the lawyers said.
How is this not strip searching? BTW, the missing money wasn’t found on the girls.
