A thirteen year old girl was strip searched in Arizona's Safford Middle School until she was completely nude. The parent was never contacted and the search was conducted immediately on-the-spot in one of the school's offices.
What would have been so dire as to require an explicit strip search of a child? What possession instituted an immediate search? A weapon you could assume, perhaps a dangerous illicit narcotic of the sort?
Ibuprofen, otherwise known as Motrin.
Again, the parent was never informed by any staff and only found out until the child told her when she was picked up by her mother later that day.

It is currently being taken to the Supreme Court where they will ACTUALLY DISCUSS whether or not it was warranted. Really? This requires a discussion in the supreme court when it's a clear violation of the 4th Amendment of the Constitution. For Ibuprofen of all things. This puts the matter in very dangerous territory, because if the ruling somehow passes as the search being acceptable then it will deem it perfectly acceptable in the future for all time until it is brought to the supreme court again, which would never happen. Completely allowing any school nearly just ground to strip search your child, your young brother or sister, niece.. think about this.
This is something you would expect in the most corrupt and disturbing fascist states in history. The mere notion that the act is going to be discussed from being right or wrong in the supreme court sickens me. Though it really doesn't fucking surprise me anymore.
