Back in 2007 I wrote a post about high school girls being asked if they were menstruating because purses weren’t allowed unless you it was your time of the month.

I was disgusted and made a flip comment about breast checks being next.

Be careful what you say.

A reader brought it to my attention that very notion has come true.

Back in June, The Supreme Court ruled that Arizona school officials violated a girls rights by strip searching her for prescription-strength ibuprofen.

Wow, how traumatizing for anyone, let alone a 13 year old.

I previously wrote about this case when the  Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals originally found that the school was within it’s rights.

That was shocking.

The young lady is now in college and is pleased with the decision. However I find it very interesting that it wasn’t unanimous.

According to CBS News, “In a dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas said the search had been legal and the court previously had given school officials “considerable leeway” under the Fourth Amendment in school settings….[He also said] that the majority’s decision could backfire. “Redding would not have been the first person to conceal pills in her undergarments,” he said. “Nor will she be the last after today’s decision, which announces the safest place to secrete contraband in school.”

I’m speechless.
