One more time for schools slow on the uptake: Do NOT strip search your students.
SCLC backs woman upset over son’s strip search by coach
Clay County High School coach Jerry Weems allegedly strip searched Una Gutierrez’ 15 year-old son and she’s furious. Backed by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference she is demanding the coach’s suspension.
Weems could not be reached for comment. School Superintendent Gene Miller said he would not comment on the allegations because the board has been threatened with a lawsuit.
…
Sheriff’s Lt. Steve Gotney said he investigated the allegations and found no evidence of a crime. “That does not mean there was not a strip search,” Gotney said.
Hold on a second. There could have been a strip search and it could have been legal? A teacher is legally allowed to strip search a minor with no witnesses present? Even if this is legally permissible it is absolutely improper. If the strip search occurred (and all signs point to yes) then that teacher needs to be disciplined and removed from a position where he is the sole supervisor of students.
As a side note, the SCLC claims that the school is doing nothing because the boy was black. Forgive me for painting with a wide brush but that’s essentially what the SCLC does in every instance they involve themselves in. It is impossible to take the accusation of racism seriously because the SCLC plays the race card with each and every hand.
I think that what Lt. Gotney meant by his statement that this, “does not mean there was not a strip search,” is that he has found no evidence that a search occured, but cannot prove that it did not occur. By this statement, he is trying to cover his bases and not go on record as saying that it did or did not happen. I sincerely doubt that it is legal for teachers to strip search students, unless simply because no one ever thought that there would ever need to be such a law.
Too bad students aren’t mature enough or have the presence of mind to know what’s happening to them. I think the answer is really quite simple.
You strip search me. I claim that you touched my wee wee in an inappropraite manner. In fact, I think your wee wee was erect in your pants and you were fondling it.
Let’s see how that looks on your record.
Dummy.
I think the above claim should be “You touched my wee wee.” A claim that “You touched my wee wee in an inappropriate manner,” allows the defense to counter “On the contrary, the manner was appropriate.”
LOL, yes that seems about right…
