Savana Redding - 13 year old was strip searched

What a sad day it is that the Supreme Court will be hearing a case today involving a 13 year old who was strip searched in school. Administrators were looking for drugs on this honor student -- ibuprofen no less. This is the comment I made at the GMA website:

"NEVER should a school be allowed to do a strip search! The administrators should have been fired and arrested! Authorities should have been called and a search warrant obtained (which probably never would have been issued under these ridiculous circumstances). Consider this scenario ...your 13-year-old daughter invites a classmate into your home. You suspect she has drugs on her. You do a strip search. Hmmm...wouldn't you be arrested? How is that scenario any different than this? Just because it was done in a school? Those administrators played judge, jury and executioner and unfortunately have scarred Savana for a very, very long time. "

Savana, my heart goes out to you.

Parents every where should be very concerned about the outcome of this case.
