Well, the Supreme Court will start hearing arguments in this case today. I heard a piece on NPR this morning where the student in question, Savana Redding, spoke for herself. You can listen to it or read it here: Supreme Court To Hear School Strip-Search Case : NPR

The fact of the matter is that the school decided to strip-search a student without consent from a parent and entirely based on hearsay--the school district has never come up with any hard evidence that Savana Redding had or sold drugs to other students. The only evidence they had was the word of another student, and the fact that administrators had supposedly seen Savana hanging out with some students at a dance who "had alcohol on their breath." To me, none of that justifies strip-searching a 13-year-old.
