How do people this foolish land jobs in our public schools?
The elite media does a lousy job reporting the civil rights violations that happen almost every day in our public schools. Civil rights organizations such as the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, the Alliance Defense Fund, the Rutherford Institute, the Student Press Law Center, and more have so many complaints of abuse that they have have no hope of acting upon them all. We report on a few of the most outrageous cases here, and we spend a lot of time on this issue, but in truth we barely scratch the surface of the problem, as the problem is just that that big. Bureaucrats, and unfortunately that includes some school administrators seem to have the ability to make the most outrageous behavior sound reasonable. Even now the school principal insists that the school was within its rights (to stick their hands in a boys underwear, not tell the parents, and take the 4th Amendment and toss it out the window) to conduct the strip search. I suspect that the courts are going to give the school a rude awakening. But even so, the administrators won't be punished, the tax payer will just have to pay the damages and the administrators will just go on violating students. Notice what national news outlet is reporting this story? The UK Daily Mail:
Parents' outrage as school strip searches a 10-year-old boy to find a 'stolen' $20 bill that was actually in the cafeteria
North Carolina parents are outraged after an assistant principal strip-searched a 10-year-old boy to find a $20 bill the student didn't even have. Union Elementary School assistant principal Teresa Holmes is named in a complaint filed against the school, alleging that she made a young boy strip down to his underwear. She suspected fifth-grader Justin Cox of having the missing $20 and when he didn't turn it over she demanded he remove his socks, shoes, pants, and shirt so that a manual search could be done. Holmes defended herself, saying that other students and faculty had said that the money was missing and that Cox had dived under a table for it. Holmes told Cox he 'he left her no choice and that she had to search him,' according to court records. She then told him she was 'within her legal rights to do so.' The complaint against Holmes states that Cox was deprived of his constitutional rights barring unreasonable search and seizure. According to court documents, Cox had gone under a lunch table after money a passing girl had dropped. Holmes returned the cash to the girl, and afterwards was told that there was still $20 missing. When confronted, Cox told her he didn't have it. Ordered into her office with a custodian to act as a witness, Holmes went so far as to put her fingers inside the waistband of his underwear and run her fingers on his bare torso. She explained she had the authority to search him 'because teachers and students thought Justin had the money.' But another teacher came into the office to announce that the money was 'miraculously' found on the cafeteria floor.
