Supreme Court: Strip search of teen illegal

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Arizona school officials violated a girl's constitutional rights by strip-searching her for prescription-strength ibuprofen. The court ruled that educators should not force students to remove their clothing unless their safety is at risk. The court ruled 8-1 that the school’s search of the girl’s backpack and outer clothes was permissible, but officials went too far when they asked to search her underwear.
What do you think of the ruling?
