News Flash: ACLU Gets One Right!
July 11, 2008
Wow. The ACLU was actually on the right side of a lawsuit!
A federal appeals court ruled Friday that officials at an Arizona school violated a 13-year-old student’s constitutional rights by subjecting her to a strip search for drugs based on a classmate’s uncorroborated accusation.
By a 6-5 decision, a full panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco reversed an earlier ruling by three divided judges from the same court.
In the latest ruling, judges said officials violated Savana Redding’s Fourth Amendment right “to be free from unreasonable search and seizure” and called the search in 2003 “grossly intrusive.” The girl was an eighth grade honor student at Safford Middle School when she was pulled from class by a vice principal who was investigating accusations that the girl was giving prescription-strength Ibuprofen pills to classmates.
I suppose you could put that in the record books but it still dont make up for the continued attack against Christians and our way of life does it? But we’ll accept the few bones we get. Right?
Well, even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.
