The Student Teacher Safety Act of 2006 (HR 5295) would require any school receiving federal funding--essentially every public school--to adopt policies requiring 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.
These searches could take the form of pat-downs, bag searches, or strip searches depending on how administrators interpret the law.
House leaders circumvented the usual legislative procedure to bring the bill to a quick vote. It did not pass through the committee process, but went straight to the House floor. There, it was passed by a simple voice vote, so constituents cannot even find out how their Representative voted.
***Metal detectors, cameras. Im afraid of the kind of adults theses kids will become.

Another example of liberals blowing everything out of context. I am giving the asker of this question the benefit of the doubt that they did not intentionally lie, just went to a left wing propaganda site and didn't check facts.
Actual excerpt from HR 5295 that was not acted upon by the Senate so it is dead unless revived by the House in the next session.
SEC. 3. SEARCHES BASED ON REASONABLE SUSPICION.
(a) In General- Each local educational agency shall have in effect throughout the jurisdiction of the agency policies that ensure that a search described in subsection (b) is deemed reasonable and permissible.
(b) Searches Covered- A search referred to in subsection (a) is a search by a full-time teacher or school official, acting on any reasonable suspicion based on professional experience and judgment, of any minor student on the grounds of any public school, if the search is conducted to ensure that classrooms, school buildings, school property and students remain free from the threat of all weapons, dangerous materials, or illegal narcotics. The measures used to conduct any search must be reasonably related to the search's objectives, without being excessively intrusive in light of the student's age, sex, and the nature of the offense.

They are REQUIRED to strip search for ANY reason? I don't think so...and teachers have as much right to be protected as students do. There needs to be resonable reasons why, as anything short of reasonable would be in court in a second. And students really need to take some responsibility for how they turn out, what kind of education they receive, and how to live within the laws of a regular society. The sooner we let them know the consequences of their actions, the sooner they grow up.

You may be afraid of the adults they become but those in power love the fact that we allow this to occur. In time we will have good little citizens that know they have no rights. because this generation allow then to be trampled. Someone will have to stand up but who will it be if not you or I or those that may read this email. To allow this kind of raping of the constitution and the trading of freedoms for security that they would like us to believe is in our best interest, however it will only allow a police or a slave state to become realized. We are well on our way.
So be a good citizen and return to consuming and working and not really paying attention.
or perhaps today we should stand up and say enough.

Now that will simplify all that teacher-student sex. Now they can have the excuse that they were just making very thorough strip searches. How convenient.

No, it doesnt make kids safer, but apparently looking at naked school children and teens makes america as a whole MUCH safer.
