That's just insane.Stephanie Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848784501386694887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544841714052873855.post-62070149437453834052009-04-28T19:22:00.000-06:002009-04-28T19:22:00.000-06:00Wow, I would be FURIOUS if that happened to my dau...Wow, I would be FURIOUS if that happened to my daughter! I can't believe her school did that -- so wrong. I understand trying to keep schools safe and drug-free, but where is common sense in all this??fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00170383000274276123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544841714052873855.post-32561984638731103942009-04-28T09:18:00.000-06:002009-04-28T09:18:00.000-06:00I know that schools are under a lot of pressure to...I know that schools are under a lot of pressure to keep students safe, but first of all, to ban OTC medications is just overkill.<br /><br />I absolutely agree, strip searching a child is completely unacceptable in any setting, ESPECIALLY when all you are looking for is OTC Advil. This kind of nonsense is why I desperately want to homeschool my daughter. <br /><br />I am so glad the young lady this happened to is standing up and challenging this sort of behavior.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201969492521912585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544841714052873855.post-2249512428096304342009-04-27T16:34:00.000-06:002009-04-27T16:34:00.000-06:00I actually had a bottle of Advil confiscated from ...I actually had a bottle of Advil confiscated from my locker during a random drug search at my SMALL RURAL high school because it could be considered "contraband." Oh please.<br /><br />I absolutely agree. Strip searching, regardless of what it is for, is absolutely positively outrageous. As is the blanket ban on medications.<br /><br />Did you know in some states/districts children with allergies are not allowed to carry their own Epi Pens? The school nurse has to keep it. Because, you know, in the case of a life-threatening anaphalactic reaction someone has the time to run track down the school nurse ...it's why they came up with Epi Pens for crying out loud!<br /><br />Sometimes I think we as a society forget to use a little common sense once in awhile.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155145739774332872noreply@blogger.com
