  • No, it's highly inappropriate. I'd deck anyone who did that to my kid.
  • Of course not, what are you, a child molester?
  • No, definitely not.
  • No way! The last thing I need is having some freaking pervert getting his jollies with my kid! I pity the guy or gal who does so.
  • For the safety of all students and teachers, if this is what it takes to assure the good people an education and safety, then go for it. The good people will not rebel, the bad people will. Its a shame it has come down to this in our school education program throughout the country. We must remember that schools are not prisons and the students are not prisoners.
  • No. However, if the situation really calls for such a thing... The parents should be called, the child should be taken to the police station and searched there in front of their parents. Only IF the situation is that extreme, strip searching should not be a regular practice.
  • No, of course not. To make students strip themselves of their privacy is not acceptable.
  • No, you think they need to be stripped search, call for a cop. No way I think a teacher, principal nor security officer should be allowed to do a strip search. Especially if it's a minor. Call a cop, call their parents and have them do the strip search if allowed down at the precinct.
  • As a former school teacher, I can tell you that I am totally against the strip searching of any student of any age at school at anytime....PERIOD!!!! Shame on those who think otherwise! Parents should be notified and invited to come to the school if any extreme problem occurs. Parents, you need to make sure that a policy is made by the school board in your district to make sure this doesn't happen in your schools. I'm speaking out because I want everybody to know what a teacher would think. I am certain I'm not alone in this.
  • Absolutely not!
  • No, unless the student is in the wrong.. Even in that case the search should be conducted by the police and a school staff member for superveision. Even then if it is a female student a female staff member should be present ect.
  • No that's sexual molestation. That student should be held until the parent comes.
  • Not without a legal arrest first, and then only in the presence of a lawyer.
  • If someone strip searched one of my daughters at school , and I would make sure that school got shut down and file a law suit and if anyone tried to touch my girls they know how to kick someone where it counts!! trust me ,,,
  • No way in hell should it be allowed,at least not with a police officer and the parent or guardian being present. I would be taking the law into my own hands if anyone strip searched any of my kids, and cop the consequences.
  • Kids today are scum, they carry weapons to school and people die, they talk to adults like there worthless and assault them knowing they can get away with it. My school from 10 years ago now looks like a prison with high walls and security guards standing guard. Kids can't be trusted today, however I am against strip searching but im not against an airport system that uses metal detectors to get kids who carry knives. I also think teachers should be given the power to hit kids with the cane and teach them some discipline, the lack of proper discipline is ruining the world and turning innocent kids into mindless thugs.
  • I saw the case you're talking about. It's flat stupidity on the schools part. I really don't know how they can continue to defend it. A student who has never been in trouble and keeps good grades. A different student said she had gotten prescription pain killers from her. They found nothing on her or in her locker. Sounds like she's innocent at that point, but they where in a frenzy and desperately didn't want be proven to be imbeciles. They went the other direction and showed how stupid they truly are. School officials should not have that authority. I dare say the DO NOT have that authority and it will be written in judicial law shortly.
  • absolutely not, next they are gonna start molesting kids claiming to have done a cavity search
  • i think schools should call the parrents to come down and at least be present for it. Hold the kid in the office in the meantime. its rather disapointing that innocent kids have to suffer because a few lousy parrents can't raise their kids properly.
  • NO!NO!NO!!!
  • No, I don't believe school should strip searching students.
  • Isn't just being at school and made fun of, embarassing enough? Now, they're trying to scar kids for life? Metal detectors, uniformed hall monitors, more surveillance, even police-dogs...there are plenty of ways to increase security. But NO WAY is strip-searching justifiable.
  • Never. If they arrest them for something and haul the student off to jail, it's up to the jail. Never, never is it okay at school.
  • no, never
  • Not by anyone working at the school.
  • No. It should never be done.
  • Fucking no.
  • I believe that the ONLY way for a student to be strip searched is if the parent, guardian, ect. of the SAME gender is present . Sometimes; a strip search may be NECESSAY ib the case where drugs and /or weapons are involved .
  • No. There had better be a good reason and even then it should be handled by the police yo...
  • NO, unless they volenteer to be searched by another student of the preffered sex (if you havent realised i am a student who would be one of those students) (dont get mad, get glad kitchen wrap)
  • Simply put, NO!
  • Yes, that is a matter for the police. Minors should be accompanied by their parents and searched.
  • The only way I would condone this is if you have an individual who has made a threat against the premises. However, that should be the task of law enforcement. School personnel should only be able to detain suspected law violators.
  • Never. School employees are employed by the government so the fact they are doing searches of this type requires a warrant.
  • no!...not a ice cube in hell chance of this ever happening to any kid of mine ( if I had any that is )
  • nope not in a million years.
  • YES! IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE CAN PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION EVEN IN FOREIGN COUNTRYS!
  • only as a last resort, with parents, warrant and lawyer present.
  • No, not unless they are of age.
  • If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the school, I will know that rights and liberties in this nation are truly a thing of the past.
  • I can think of no justification for it. The 'loco' in 'loco parentis' is Latin, not Spanish.
  • Let the students learn without thought of whatever horror could be found about their person. We must remember...School is about Learning...All lessons teach.
  • yes, i see no harm in that provided the searcher also strips but no third party is allowed as a witness. that is the equality of both as written in our Qura'an. Lo and behold, Allah knows verily what happened rehards from pakistan
  • US Supreme Court has ruled that it can be done - if they have a darn good reason and in the case they just ruled on they said with one dissenting vote {Thomas} that they did not; works for me.
  • i think it should be ilegal if the cop does it in the open. if they take u in the bathroom and serch for drugs it is legal. but thats just me.
  • i still feel don't do the crime unless you can do the time or retribution. i also know where there is smoke you usually find fire or bad cooking! i do agree should be in private with an instructor of the same sex as the person being searched.
  • As long as it's videotaped and sold as black market snuff films.
  • Hell, no!! That would embarass the child to death.
  • yes the only way we can conquer the war on drugs is to search high and low and every cavity in between we must put a stop to all the violence and sexual abuse the only way to do this is to stop the war on drugs and the only way to do that is to strip search all the women
  • No, what you have is none of there business but if you know it's wrong to have a certain item then I suggest you keep it at home.
  • Yes, but only by female police officers and no one else. There must be strong probable cause to believe contraband is hidden on a persons private parts of their body. Don't fool yourself, some students will do anything to sell or use illegal drugs in school. This only applies to high school students.
  • 2nd Answer: You are a female School Resource Police Officer. you and two other officers work everyday at this high school. one female student is stabbed by another female student. witnesses all point to this one female as the stabber. the knife has not been recovered and witnesses tell you the weapon is a switchblade knife and is on the suspects body. the suspect is apprehended, but the knife is not located on her outer person. you assume the weapon must be somewhere else on her body. You, as a female police officer, have to make a decision about locating the switchblade knife weapon on the suspect. You are the female police officer............ What action would you take? Random strip searches should never be accomplished.
