Was it of utmost importance for the school to strip search her right away? What would it have taken to contact her parents first? 13 then and now still means a person is a minor, right? If they really suspected her of having these drugs - which apparently she didn't have - was there any need to rush? As long as she was supervised? The thing is, they didn't even try to contact her parents, emergency contacts, or even ask her first.

Also, just listening to one person's statement that someone has ibuprofen is enough to strip search somebody without any other proof? Do schools have martial law or something?

What if someone accused another person of having something just to humiliate the other person? Job done and they had the schools to do it for them.

This is not even considering the situation of teachers / administrative staff misusing this zero-tolerance combined strip search policy as an excuse to touch under-aged children for deviant sexual reasons. Just because the person is the same sex as the child doesn't mean anything.
