A step too far…
I was reading a news article and it really made my blood boil. I cannot believe that a girl was strip searched at school. When you consider that in today’s ridiculous age a teacher is no longer permitted to hug a child under any circumstance, then at least you would assume that strip searching a student is not acceptable. Apparently this is not the case. Savana Redding was strip searched because she was suspected of carrying a prescription drug with her (since when is this not acceptable?). Interestingly none was found.
What really gets to me is that “An appeals panel agreed that the search didn’t violate her rights.” Seriously! I mean if someone insisted I remove my bra (especially considering the controversy that arises when I breastfeed), I would be livid. If people object to seeing my breasts to breastfeed a child, then what right to they have to insist that they strip search me?
This is a horrific example of power gone to the head!!
