Apparently yesterday the Supreme Court discussed underwear. The article is especially bizarre for that reason, but the case is about whether middle school officials can strip search students.
The student in question was suspected of having prescription-strength ibuprofen. Ibuprofen! I’m aware that many schools have (ill-advised and unnecessary IMO) rules against students carrying medication, but I can’t believe the administration in this case didn’t think it might be just a little over the top to strip-search kids for something this innocuous. I can only imagine that next year we’ll be hearing about body-cavity searches for Claritin.
