It'll be interesting to see what SCOTUS does here, following the balancing tests approach from the TLO case.
That said, what I plan on doing in the meantime is teaching my kids to say "NO" if they are asked to be strip searched, tell them to refuse to comply, and tell them to CALL ME. I'll be on the cellphone with my attorney on my way from work to that school laying down the law on those bureaucrats. I'll leave my hockey stick at home.
All this for f'ing Advil which I can buy at CVS. I used to break school rules on drugs all the time. Back then, even a lot of teachers did not care. The drug in question was my asthma medicine. I really did not want to have to go to the school office to take a hit if I'm out on the practice football fields 1/2 mile away. Technically, I could have been suspended for 10 days for this. It's a complete Charlie Foxtrot.
Rescue inhalers only one half mile away for what sounds like exercise induced asthma. This is the brilliance of zero tolerance. /s
I swear the new policies of keeping meds in the school office are going to kill someone if they haven't already. When I was in school there were no rules of any kind about meds- it was understood that any medication, prescribed or OTC, was the responsibility of the student taking it.
