I have some questions, besides filing a lawsuit against the school district this involves why aren't the school principle, a secretary, and a nurse not in jail? If these were anyone else they would have had felony charges filed against them. The school district lost in the 9th circuit, and they appealed. For what? Their dumb zero-tolerance policy over ibuprofen? They didn't even find that. Being the parent of a female child, I really don't know what I would have done, I maybe or may not have ended up in jail. I would have called the police at least and filed charges, such as indecent liberties with a minor etc.

Here's the quote that still burns me every time I read it.

"The school district does not contest that Ms. Redding had no disciplinary record, but says that is irrelevant.

“Her assertion should not be misread to infer that she never broke school rules,” the district said of Ms. Redding in a brief, “only that she was never caught.”"

WTF? Does the school district hire morons?

"SAFFORD, Ariz. — Savana Redding still remembers the clothes she had on — black stretch pants with butterfly patches and a pink T-shirt — the day school officials here forced her to strip six years ago. She was 13 and in eighth grade.

An assistant principal, enforcing the school’s antidrug policies, suspected her of having brought prescription-strength ibuprofen pills to school. One of the pills is as strong as two Advils. "
