Why Can’t Jimmy Keep His Pants On?

Maybe because the House just said it’s o.k. for his teacher to strip search him.

A bill approved by the U.S. House yesterday would require school districts around the country to establish policies making it easier for teachers and school officials to conduct wide scale searches of students. These searches could take the form of pat-downs, bag searches, or strip searches depending on how administrators interpret the law.

The Student Teacher Safety Act of 2006 (HR 5295) would require any school receiving federal funding--essentially every public school--to adopt policies allowing teachers and school officials to conduct random, warrantless searches of every student, at any time, on the flimsiest of pretexts. Saying they suspect that one student might have drugs could give officials the authority to search every student in the building.

What
The
Fuck?

I mean, that is so outrageous I don’t even know what to say to that.

All the Constitutional arguments aside, because it seems like there aren't many legislators that have actually read that document, in the wake of all the sexual scandals that have popped up in our public school system in the last couple years, would you really want to have a teacher (not a police officer) with the legal right to do these things to your kid?

And according to the bill, if your School Board objects they get their federal funding pulled.

Once again folks, time to write those senators.

Are the Republicans on some kind of politically suicidal binge to get all the heinous legislation they can in before November?

What the HELL is happening to our country?

Support Those Troops.

Because the Government sure as hell isn’t going to.

My Gawd.
