Justices Rule Strip Search Suit Can Proceed
The parents of a former middle school student can pursue their lawsuit against an Arizona school district over the strip search of their daughter, the Supreme Court has ruled. In an 8-1 decision, the justices found that school officials violated the rights of the then 13-year-old girl who they believed was hiding prescription-strength ibuprofen in her underwear. Individual school officials cannot be held liable for the search, the court also ruled.
