Sexting is bad, but this is ok?!

I have a 14 year old daughter and if anyone did something like this to her I would lose my damn mind. From what I understood the student that claimed she had the medicine never specified where she was carrying the pills and that when they searched her bookbag, locker and her they didn't find anything. I agree that they have to be concerned about the situation of drugs in schools but what is to stop some vindictive kid from saying something falsely so that another kid would have to suffer that kind of embarrassment. If they were convinced she had any prescription drugs on her they should have called her parents and police to handle the situation.

The problem we have here is the school districts all over the country have claimed in loco parentis as a shield to commit all manner of civil rights violations against the kids for years.

You're forced to send your kids to school, under penalty of DSS interference, and you're also forced to cede your rights as the parent to the school under the in loco parentis clause while the kids are there.

Sure, but a parent would very likely be hauled on abuse charges if s/he behaved like that and it was reported.
