"Justices to rule on school strip search
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court said yesterday that it will review whether a strip search for prescription-strength Ibuprofen violated a 13-year-old Arizona student's constitutional rights.
If it's constitutional, then we need to amend it!
NO WAY should ANY 13-year-old have to endure that for ANYTHING!!!!
The justices said they will hear arguments in April. The court also will consider whether, even if it upholds an appeals court decision that the girl was subjected to an unconstitutional search, a school vice principal is financially liable for damages.
Last year, the federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled, 8 to 3, in favor of Savana Redding, who was subjected to the strip search based on a classmate's uncorroborated accusation that she was hiding the pills. The court split, 6 to 5, in favor of allowing her to sue the school official who ordered the search.
Redding was an eighth-grade student at the Safford Middle School in Safford, Ariz., when she was ordered to the school nurse's office and searched. No pills were found. School officials contend that the search was reasonable because pills had been found on campus and another student linked them to Redding.
Officials said they were justifiably anxious because in an earlier incident, a student had to be hospitalized after taking a prescription drug he had been given by a classmate. But the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit called Redding's ordeal "a grossly intrusive search of a middle-school girl to locate pills with the potency of two over-the-counter Advil capsules."
The court found that the vice principal, Kerry Wilson, is liable for damages and ordered a federal magistrate to determine the amount. Earlier, a three-judge panel of the appeals court ruled, 2 to 1, that the search was constitutional, upholding the magistrate's dismissal of Redding's civil rights lawsuit.
And I suspect the Supreme's will do the same; they are tilted toward authority and corporations.
