Read my statement again: Emergency rooms are full of people who didn't know they were allergic to items. You can even develop an allergy to something that you've previously been around. My scenerio was a kid who has never been exposed to something and they/their parents don't even know that they are allergic to it (or have developed an allergy to it). I didn't say that the kid knew they were allergic and went ahead and took it. I'm trying to explain why the school districts have to be careful and even go overboard. (Not to the extent of a strip search, though.) |
This is true for foods and cleaning supplies and the liquid soap in the bathroom at the school, etc. You can't not have ANYTHING because someone in the world might be allergic to it.
The ibuprofen is a real sticking point with me because so many girls have to have it or have to miss school a couple days a month. It's kind of ridiculous to have to miss school because you're not allowed to take Ibuprofen.
In any case, I don't think any child should be strip searched without their parent present. That's total BS and I would be livid if my daughter were strip searched by school personnel. Police cannot strip search without having arrested a person and they can't arrest someone without showing probably cause so why in the world can a school do this based on one peer's verbal report??? So all they have to do is go around telling teachers "I saw so and so with Ibuprofen" and they're going to strip search all those kids? Let's be real.
