May 12, 2008, 10:34pm (report abuse)If this is the same as the The Student and Teacher Safety Act of 2006, it is BULLSH*T!!
Giving the schools the power to strip search kids!!!
We don't have enough teacher abuse in schools, now they want to make it legal???
Anyone doing this to any of my family will pay dearly.
Any politician voting for this will not only NOT get my vote, but I will spread the word far & wide as to what they are up to.
I will be screaming bloody murder if this passes and I won't stop till its revoked.
