Should school administrators be allowed to strip search students?

Tell me your opinion on the current supreme court case

I agree that students have limited rights as far search and seizure go when it comes to school.

However, if it comes down to a strip search, the school needs to call the police and have them decide if it's warranted, and if so, have them do it. Several years of working in a school district I can say that administrators are not trained on how to conduct one and it's out of their scope of authority.

No, they should not. If there is reasonable suspicion of a crime, then call the cops and the parents.

Strip searching a 13 year old for friggin Ibuprofen is insane.

Have we really come to that, seriously! I would never allow such a thing.

The simple fact that this issue is being discussed is evidence that our government is out of control.

No way. Absolutely not. If they have reason to suspect that there is a need for that it should be done by the police. The admins at the school have authority but not that much authority. Just plain not right...

i don't think the school administration should do it themselves, but maybe bring in the police and have them do the search. even though it may be a invasion of privacy i feel that it is better to be safe than sorry

Yes. Students' rights are already limited in school and school has the right to search your belongings in case you have drugs or weapons.
The Supreme Court stated that in school, students rights are limited for the safety of others. Even in public, everyone's rights are limited for others' safety.
Ex: If you throw away evidence that you sell drugs or something illegal into a trash can on the street, it's not yours. It automatically becomes city's belonging, and if you trash dig, you also get fined.
Everything is limited because people might infringe others' rights or put others in danger. You have to be aware of that. So yes, I think school administrators are allowed to search students.
