Read article here: Assistant Principal Strip-Searches Third Grader Over Missing $20
This above article is about poor judgement and the abuse of authority.
A 10 year old boy was falsely accused of stealing $20 from a fellow student. After he was strip-searched by the assistant principal, the money was discovered by another teacher.
The boy's mother was never called. The administrator considered $20 to be a valid excuse to humiliate this child. Reasonable doubt and the cost of liberty were never considered. The school board is supporting the search.
I can understand this kind of action if there is a potential for injury to a student or a teacher. If there is a reasonable suspicion that a student possesses a weapon or drugs, a search may be necessary, possibly before a parent can be found.
But for $20? Are our children's rights worth so little?
Another reason to homeschool our kids next year.
