The stupidity virus continues it's rampant spread into the educated masses. I assume they require degrees to run schools...maybe not.

    This is unacceptable. Somebody needs to be fired. If this was not a one time event then someone should have been watching and observing in order to establish the cause. I remember a particular student in my elementary school who was bit slow and had an issue with incontinence that embarrassed him terribly. Once we witnessed what we first thought were milk duds falling out of his pant-leg as he got off the bus... Some of the kids were merciless after that and he had to be assigned to a different bus. I am not saying this was necessarily the case for this story, but what did the inspection accomplish? Apparently the outcome was only distress for multiple students because of the act of perhaps one.

      Unacceptable is right. During my high school years in the 1960s, swimming was required for each year. Back then we were made to swim naked. As if that wasn't humilating enough, before we were let in the pool, we were forced to turn our backs to the instructor and bend over and then followed by, "Open those tale-pipes wide!"

      This is absolutely true.

        Outrageous... My school never had any pool. I learned to swim in lakes at a young age. Later I easily earned a Boy Scout Swimming merit badge at camp, since I already knew how... Trunks were always proper attire.

    Crazy. Life imitates the lame stories on pervy websites, at least so I've heard I mean.

    I would *not* put up with this at my kids' school.

        oddly, Texas. I wouldn't have expected that. Or maybe, the fact that the parents are upset is the good thing. Had this happened in Calif, or Colo. the parents might have been ok with it.

          Sure. Texas loves getting to the kids, too. Rick Perry made up his own law telling the citizens of Texas that the little girls had to get the three Gardasil shots. There was no law. Doesn't matter. There's money to be made and the kids are a source of revenue. Texas isn't conservative, it's neocon.

    Okay, the inspection was over the top. Better to do a DNA check of the "crime scene" like some city was suggesting, to track down owners who's dogs left little "gifts" in the local park (ha, ha, ha).

    As for the kids being emotionally strained by this...I remember lining up and dropping my drawers in PE, during junior high (I believe), so that a physician could inspect my privates. So far as I'm aware, I wasn't emotionally scarred by the exam. However, I'm not suggesting the school administration was proper in doing this.

    Gee, I hope the kids were not naked under their outer clothing or wearing comfyballs underwear that the Brits found too scandalous to all to be advertises (free speech, right?).

    Seems like a logical outcome of one-size-fits-all government 'thinking' as applied in [guess-what, government] schools.

      Yup, and take the aggressive police action first. Didn't they need search warrants for body searches? Or are kids so easy to bully and manhandle? Were they interrogated, too, with enhancements? Did the investigators bring in the dogs to sniff each kid's bottom? And who did the inspecting? Sheesh.

        You got it correct. There seems to have been a violation of the law regarding searches.

        But since when did the modern day educators care about the Constitution?

    Oops! They only found a spilled Moochelle school lunch someone took out of the cafeteria.. Check student desks for a dirty tray. Trash cans too.

    It boggles the mind. So, did they find a kid with poop remnants in their knickers? Even that would not be incriminating; maybe they just didn't use enough toilet paper the last time they took a dump. Or there was something wrong with the school lunch. Hey, what if a kid was making a political statement--they could have brought the stuff in in a bag, not emitted it in situ. Even then, wouldn't there be witnesses? Oh, crap.

    So what was some kid doing crapping on the gym floor in the first place?

    Irresponsibility on top of reckless vandalism. Two stupids.

      I think someone might have actually had an accident. might have been someone was shooting vodka and gave themselves an enema instead, and couldn't make it out of the gym fast enough.

          I knew a certain group of 11 year olds that made it a habit to raid parent's booze cabinet and replace vodka with water, thinking we, er, um, THEY'd get away with it...

          And in HS, a pair of bottles of (I'm not making the name up) Zwack Vodka (also liberated from a parent's booze supply)... the 5 of us in the Advanced Video Production class (super high tech for the early 1970's) had shot "the big game" (the heady days of R2R video) and got to stay late to edit the thing for the coaches the next morning... At least there was truth in advertising - the 5 of us were most definitely "zwacked" by the time we were done.

          I'm sure kids nowadays would *never, ever* do something like that...

          since it was 11 year olds they were rounding up...it's a student making an act of aggression. more than likely, teachers have an idea. traumatizing a bunch of students is also an act of aggression and sick-they went all Joan Crawford

    And this is also just more of the trend towards "guilty before being proved innocent".

    The parents should raise hell and clean house big time of these petty little pervo kid tyrants.

    I remember my middle school's enforcer's job designation was "Administration Assistant. He would send letters home to your parents signed with his name followed by A.A. We designated him as "Admiral Ass."

    IF someone has been doing it and it was not a one time event. WHY did they not install a camera to catch the individual instead of violating all of the kids??????
