The article that describes the circumstances upon which
the case comes to the Court is found here.
and will decide if school officials had the right to strip
search an 8th grade student under a zero tolerance
policy. Another student who was found to have
prescription strength ibuprofin in school claimed she
had gotten it from Savana Redding , an honors student.
Ms. Redding had no Ibuprofin or any other drugs and
was completly humiliated by the experience. Her parents
filed suit and the case has now reached the Supreme Court.
Zero tolerance is an example of a good idea that is often
taken to extremes with no good judgment utilized. I find it
hard to believe that the Court would hold that this action
by school authorities is anything but wrong and worthy of
condemnation. However, we must wait until the Court
issues its decision to know the position that will be taken.
