WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a school's strip search of an Arizona teenage girl accused of having prescription-strength ibuprofen was illegal.
The court ruled that school officials violated the law with their search of Savana Redding, who lives in Safford in rural eastern Arizona.
Redding was 13 when officials at Safford Middle School in 2003 ordered her to remove her clothes and shake out her underwear because they were looking for pills. The district bans prescription and over-the-counter drugs and the school was acting on a tip from another student.

I think this is fantastic news!
I hope the lower court holds the school liable. I really do.

How can they ban a prescription drug?
No tolerance rules.
No tolerance rules.
I was curious how the ruling went. 8-1 with Thomas dissenting.
Technically speaking, if it is prescribed to the student by a licensed physician, they are not allowed to ban it.
The student's medical treatment trumps that tard rule from a tard school.
With this most excellent ruling from the supreme court I would be willing to bet that the school district is going to pay out the ass for what the did to that child.

You haven't been involved in the public school system in a while have you?
Because, their medical conditions do not trump the school. Their medications have to in most cases be given to the school nurse to "hold onto", and are administered / given to the student by the nurse.. in accordance with their "permission" from the administration of the school.
Would all those who think this is a wonderful ruling feel the same way if they'd found a gun instead of a bottle of Ibuprofin?
You are talking apples and oranges here.

Thomas is a nazi retard.
afaik, they never found any ibuprofen on the girl.
Combined with the fact that they had unsubstantiated claims from another student implicating her...
Along with the fact that she'd never been in trouble and was an honors student... yet they strip searched her.
To be honest, this wouldn't have made it to the supreme court if that was my child.. they'd be prosecuting me for murder instead.
Ok, let me rephrase the question: Had they been searching for a gun, would most feel it's an illegal search?
And, BTW, I don't think I would've wasted anyone, but I would definitely whipped someone's ass over the incident. On this we can agree.
I don't think you need to strip search to find a gun.

A knife maybe.
