Reply #9: Don't understand

[droidamus2]

Maybe it is because I am a male but I don't understand this. When I was in school (junior high in the late 1960's) there is no damn way that I would have allowed teachers to strip search me. If need be I would have just gone home and dealt with the consequences later. Yes, schools need a certain amount of control to enforce discipline but this is way beyond anything that should be allowed. Back in my day they were still giving swats when you acted up and I gave teachers hell every time they threatened me with corporal punishment (didn't always get me out of the swat but they never wanted to use that punishment on me again). Just as children are taught that they should not allow people to touch them in their 'special' places they should also be told that if they uncomfortable with what people in authority are asking them to do that they should demand to have a parent or guardian present before the authorities proceed and yes as this girl has done take them to court if they refuse.
