When your child walks through the doors of the school, the school becomes the "acting parental figure" of that child with all rights and responsibilities afforded that child's legal guardian. If the school has suspicion that the child was in possession of an illegal item or substance they had a duty, to the other students, and faculty,, to search the child in order to maintain a safe, orderly and drug free learning environment. The child may have been offended but, one does not have the, constitutional, right to not be offended.
