Young girl strip searched....Homeschooling sounding better now huh?

A 13 year old girl was strip searched, partially revealing her breasts and pelvic area.
The reason?
She was accused by a student caught with aspirin, that she gave that student the aspirin.
So on heresay, a student was humiliated. What's funny is this student didn't have any record of misbehavior and was, in fact, an honor's student.

But hey, some student accused them, so I guess that's enough to tell a kid, take off your clothes! I mean where did these adults go to college, that they use such terrible reasoning skills?

What if the student was muslim or a member of another religion where revealing your body is a big no no? The administrator couldn't call the parents first?

It's funny, the school needs permission for kids to go on a field trip, or to be treated by a doctor if the student gets hurt on a field trip, but they don't need permission to tell your child to get naked! What a weird world we live in.

It makes me glad that I decided to home school my child and I hope this story makes parents think hard about homeschooling their children as well. Believe me, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Public school is for the dregs of society.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A 13-year-old Arizona girl who was strip-searched by school officials looking for ibuprofen pain reliever will have her case heard at the Supreme Court.


With the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, Redding and her family sued, and a federal appeals court in San Francisco, California, ruled against the school.

The court wrote: "Common sense informs us that directing a 13-year-old girl to remove her clothes, partially revealing her breasts and pelvic area, for allegedly possessing ibuprofen ... was excessively intrusive."

The court said the school went too far in its effort to create a drug- and crime-free classroom. "The overzealousness of school administrators in efforts to protect students has the tragic impact of traumatizing those they claim to serve. And all this to find prescription-strength ibuprofen."

In its appeal to the high court, the school district said requiring a legal standard of "probable cause" to conduct student searches would cast a "roadblock to the kind of swift and effective response that is too often needed to protect the very safety of students, particularly from the threats posed by drugs and weapons."

Motherhood is 'so much fun'?

Jamie Lynn Spears says 'motherhood is so much fun' in an article.

Is this the kind of person you want as a role model? Pregnant at 16, mother at 17?
Also she is pretty much saying playing 'house' for real is a piece of cake.

Well of course, when you have lots of money motherhood will be 'so much fun.' I'm sure she can hire nannies to help. She also doesn't have to worry about working, she can just focus on the baby. She also has a supportive family. Finally, she has her OWN house!

How many teenagers can even afford a downpayment on a house?
How many teenagers get paid a million dollars for pictures of their baby?

Now she wants to set the date for the wedding? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Get married, then have the baby?

Lets look at real life:
Most teens don't have millions of dollars to help them ease through motherhood. Maybe Jamie Lyn would look at motherhood differently if she had to go through the hardships that a typical teen mother (usually without the father) have to go through.

Typical Scenario:
Teen girl gets pregnant, guy abandons her. Now she has to raise it alone. Sometimes the parents will help support. However, by doing so many teens take advantage of their parents and never really learn what it is to be a parent (her mother becomes the de facto mother of the baby).

If her parents aren't supportive and she has to raise the baby on her own, what can she do then? She has to take a minimum wage job to support it, or gets pulled into the dark side of this world.

Or maybe her parents are semi-supportive and she goes back to school, where she gets free(paid by tax payers) day care while going to school. This example then shows other teen girls that being a mother isn't that bad, you can go to school still, you just stick the kid into the school's daycare.


Final thought:
Nick should take Zoey off the air immediately if it already hasn't. There should be NO syndication of it. They should drop Jamie Lyn from any future projects. It's bad enough already for teens, we don't need someone promoting teen pregnancy!
