NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The ACLU is looking into complaints from north Louisiana parents who say their teenage children were held after school and strip-searched when a student reported the loss of $42.

Melinda Ponder says her 15-year-old daughter was ordered to strip down to her bra and panties in the classroom at Caldwell High School in Columbia, 30 miles south of Monroe. Ponder said boys were taken to a bathroom where they were told to drop their pants.

She said parents were not notified of the strip search or told that their children had been held after school.

"The way we found out was, our daughter didn't come home," Ponder said. After missing the school bus because of the search, the girl called her parents for a ride home. "When we go to pick her up, she's visibly shaken," Ponder told The Associated Press.

lose their license to teach in the state for atleast 5 years imo.

3. Sue the shit out of the school.

I know I'd be looking at legal retribution if something like that had happened to one of my kids.

4. Without reading the article, I am going to guess the race of the students stripped

Let's see if I'm right: They are black.

On edit: Yep, I'm right.
