Supreme Court Hears Strip-Search Case

April 23, 2009 | ISSUE 45•17

The Supreme Court heard arguments in Safford Unified School District v. Redding, in which the family of a 13-year-old girl sued after school officials strip-searched her for prescription ibuprofen. What do you think?

My parents threatened to sue the school when I was strip-searched, but they settled in exchange for letting me pass eighth grade.

Not a big deal. Back when I was a police officer, I used to kiss all my suspects.

My teenager never has headaches. Do you think she's on the ibuprofen, too?
