SCOTUS to examine strip search of high school student

Schools have been rights-free bubbles for some time now, mostly because conservatives can't stand the idea of students actually standing up for their rights.

But no probable cause for the strip search of this high school girl (over ibuprofen) might rock their world.

Apparently, even being good is irrelevant. Money quote, from the school district's brief:

“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.”
