smibbosomething that is very difficult to believe
but I am somewhat surprised... everyone keeps mentioning how foolish it was for these authorities to do this.... what I can't get over is the nauseating sicko-sexual aspect of it.... lifting their skirts??? yanking down their tops??? I know these are kids and kids are considered less than farm animals on the totem pole of culture but am I the only one to see the horrific possibility of sexual misconduct here?
They were trying to look at girls' underwear. That, to me, is more than violation of civil rights and privacy, that is psychologically damanging to their sexual self-esteem. While they were standing there showing their underwear to the whole school, don't you think it might have crossed their minds that the teachers or whoever might start getting a litte MORE investigative???
It sickens me.... not because these "authorities" overstepped their bounds, but because the way they did it shows that they view young people's private boundaries as something they are allowed to cross any time they like for whatever reason. I seem to recall that that is a clear indicator of a pedophiliac personality.
Does the phrase "It was for their own good" mean anything to anyone???
Overall, I am somewhat frightened by this.
