Sweet Land of Liberty Assumption of Guilt...And Tasering
From 2Millionth Web Log


If anyone wonders how authoritarian this country's become:

The school district does not contest that Ms. Redding had no disciplinary record, but says that is irrelevant.

"Her assertion should not be misread to infer that she never broke school rules," the district said of Ms. Redding in a brief, "only that she was never caught."


This is in regards to an incident six years ago when Savana Redding, then 13 years old, was strip searched by local school officials after being accused--it turned out, unfairly--of smuggling "drugs" into school...the drugs being--gasp--prescription ibuprofen.

On the other hand, I suppose it's preferable to being tasered to death.

Ain't freedom grand...
