Explanation:
Supreme Court Says Teen's Strip Search Was Illegal
What the Ruling Should Have Been
The ruling should have been that if an invasive search is needed beyond the pockets and bags/wallet/backpack of a student, it should only be carried out by law enforcement, no exceptions. The currently ruling with its wishy-washy 'well it wasn't a hard drug' and 'no immediate danger' is unclear as the original law. This Supreme court is supremely bad.

I'll second that.
But I will disagree on a minor point - pockets. Once a search has to go beyond my child's locker or bags, and extends to their person, they better 1) call me and 2) call the police .
They're especially going to need 2 if they don't do 1. The rights of my children do not stop at their school door, regardless of what they think. And they will not be subjected to any kind of search of their person without me being present.
It's time that we, as a society , stop treating children as if they are not entitled to the same protections under the law as we are. Kerry Wilson was wrong, and she's damn lucky I'm not the child's parent.
