Not at all. Parents must do what they must do, and private school or homeschooling are viable options. But neither of those are realistic options for 90% of the public who are stuck with public schools and so the question for a conservative is, what do we do?
Do we, as this individual do, suggest that this is simply a matter of individual parenting, and while we might express our regrets at the misfortune it is somewhat deserved and not really our concern?
Or, do we express our outrage at the continual erosion of rights, liberties, and in this case fundamental God-given decencies. The individuals who have placed these school administrators in the same category as child molesters got it about right, and I think a private suit against them as individuals for their behavior is just about right. Get them before a jury of their peers and let them decide.
There really comes a time when NO education is better that attending the government indoctrination camps. I **seriously** mean this. We have reached this point.
ALL educationally successful children are homeschooled. If they are institutionalized for their education, this home acquired education is called "after-schooling". If conservative parents are the parents of an academically successful institutionalized child, it is because they homeschooled ( "afterschooled") the child and they or the child is now old enough to be educating himself already. The institutionalization is merely a waste of the child and parent's time.
If the conservatives are using government schooling as babysitting, then shame on them! If they somehow they managed babysitting costs when the child was a preschooler, then they can manage babysitting with the older child.
As you drive down the freeway, please note the very expensive new cars and trucks on the road. Every one of these parents can afford to downgrade their lifestyle and educate their children in a private school or hire tutors. Please glance up on the hill. Please note the mini-mansions. These are people who absolutely can afford to privately school, privately tutor, or homeschool their children.
I was skiing a few times this winter in the West. Everyone of those parents on these expensive ski vacations can afford to get their children OUT of the government schools.
Conclusion: There are plenty of conservatives using the government schools who are doing it for babysitting ( so they accumulate more material goods), or because they do not want to downsized their standard of living by having mom stay at home or by paying for tutors or private school even if she is already home.

Personally, my husband and I give 1% of our income to our church scholarship fund. This is in addition to tithing. Imagine how many poor and middle class kids could escape the government schools if all conservatives did this?
Then when incidents such as this strip search occur conservatives need to make a very big stink whether or not they have children in the government schools.
We should demand that our legislators and police hold government school brown shirts to the exact same standards of behavior as private citizens.

The best way to punish the government school brown shirts is to eliminate their job! Work like crazy to close these kiddie prisons DOWN!
And,,Yes!,,,I agree personal malpractice suits are justified in this and similar cases.
