A 13 year old stripped by school to check for drugs
Well In usa a shocking news has come to light. A 13 year old girl was stripped to under wears because school authorities thought that she has drugs. School has zero tolerance policy against drug and because of that they did , what they did!!!!!!!!!
Abc news reported the following :
The Supreme Court ruled today that school officials' strip search of a then-13-year-old Arizona teen suspected of possessing a painkiller violated the girl's constitutional rights, despite the school district's zero-tolerance policy for drugs.
The court said, however, that school officials are protected from personal liability in the case.
The ruling is a partial victory for Savana Redding, who had been summoned from her middle school classroom and was asked to strip down to her underwear as school officials searched for prescription strength ibuprofen.
The decision could redefine student privacy rights and outline important guidelines for school officials as they seek out dangerous contraband, like drugs, weapons or alcohol.
An 8-1 majority of the Court found that the search was unconstitutional. Justice David Souter, writing for the majority said, "Savana's subjective expectation of privacy against such a search is inherent in her account of it as embarrassing, frightening, and humiliating. … Here, the content of the suspicion failed to match the degree of intrusion."
Now in over zeal of drug search school went to the extent of getting a female student stipped!!!!..This is uncalled for and breach of privacy. Isn't it?
