In his famous address at Harvard in the late 1970s, Alesandr Solzhenitsyn raised a bit of trouble by suggesting that a nation with only law, and not morality, common sense, and the like, was in trouble.
This Supreme Court case--about a teenage girl strip searched to find evidence of Advil--proves his point in my opinion. Whatever the legalities, what kind of idiot thinks that Advil is a threat to schools?
Apparently, school administrators and lawyers, by taking this one all the way to the Supreme Court, are the idiots, and I would dare suggest that this is yet another reason to keep your kids out of the government's schools. Do you want them to think this kind of thing is appropriate?

Excellent point. "Zero tolerance" is exactly law without morality, common sense, and the like.
when my boy was in HS, playing football, i use to give him prescription strenght ibuprofin the days after a thurs nite game.
very obvious reasons, he needed some relief from bruised/sore muscles. 800mg works great for that.
i was called by the school one day, they saw my kid had pills, and i was warned he was absolutely not allowed to take anything at school that wasnt 'over the counter' without having a dr's note, and seeing the school nurse to take his meds.
no problem. i sent him with a bottle of over the counter, 200mg, ibuprofin. with the direction to take 4 at a time.
idiots, arent they?
Thanks, y'all; and if I read right, congratulations on the new baby, Pilgrim!
You read well! Thank you!
